Tottenham, Aston Villa Negotiate Free Transfer for Lille Striker Jonathan David

Tottenham Hotspur are actively pursuing a summer transfer for Canadian striker Jonathan David, who will leave Lille on a free transfer after five seasons with the club. Despite Tottenham's struggles this season, currently 17th in the Premier League, the club is keen to strengthen their attack and sees David as a versatile option to complement Dominic Solanke. David, 25, has scored 25 goals and provided 12 assists this season, attracting interest not only from Tottenham but also from Aston Villa, Juventus, and Napoli. Both Premier League clubs are in talks with the player, with Tottenham's potential Champions League qualification via the Europa League final making them an attractive destination. David has expressed a preference for playing in La Liga but acknowledges the Premier League's pace and physicality and is open to new challenges. His decision is awaited as clubs compete to sign one of Europe's most exciting forwards on a free transfer.
