According to 90min, Tottenham Hotspur are one of two front-runners at the moment in the race for Lille striker Jonathan David.
With David having entered into the final year of his contract at Lille, he has been widely backed to leave the Stade Pierre Mauroy, with the Premier League being mooted as his most likely destination this summer.
This is according to some reports over the last few weeks, including The Guardian, who revealed previously that Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham are all keen on securing the Canadian international’s signature.
The report asserted that the prolific Ligue 1 star could be available for as little as £20m due to his contract situation.
90min have now said that Tottenham and Chelsea are currently the two clubs at the front of the queue for David’s signature.
The report reveals that West Ham also have their eye on the 24-year-old but they are thought to currently trail their two London rivals in the race.
The publication adds that for the moment, the Hammers are prioritising a deal for Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, who is said to be intent on leaving Villa Park.

Canada’s Copa America campaign will conclude this Saturday after the third-place playoff match against Uruguay and I would expect the talks over David’s future to accelerate over the following days.
As things stand, it appears as if the striker is bound for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or Stamford Bridge.
