Aston Villa and Tottenham in talks to win race for exciting free transfer

Aston Villa and Tottenham are reportedly among the clubs in talks over a free transfer swoop for Lille striker Jonathan David.

The Canada international looks set to leave Lille at the end of his contract this summer, and it could be that the Premier League will be his next destination.

However, there are plenty of clubs in the race, with Villa and Spurs named alongside other big names such as Napoli and Juventus, according to L’Equipe.

David has been a prolific scorer for Lille and looks like he could be ready to make the step up to a bigger club and/or a more competitive league.
