Villa to pounce as David prepares Lille exit

Premier League target Jonathan David finally appears set to leave Lille in the offseason.

The Canadian center forward, who is known for his two-footedness and quick finishing, wants to move to a bigger team.

Per Nicolo Schira, Lille are also ready to cash in on him as he is running down his contract.

The French club can either sell him this summer or lose him on a free in a year's time.

David has been linked to Aston Villa in the past, with Unai Emery said to be an admirer.

He may also be an option for a team such as Chelsea or Manchester United, who are both seeking more forward options.
