There is a top transfer battle awaiting Lille’s Canadian star striker.

As his contract comes to an expiration date at Lille, the elite European club Barcelona is among the organizations keenly looking forward to making his next leap.

While no official move has come from the Catalan club yet, six Premier League clubs have initiated contact with him with a mega offer for his contract.

The player is Jonathan David, according to Fichajes.net.

The 25-year-old clinical goal-scorer can play anywhere in attack.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham, and West Ham are all keen to get his signature on a free.

Lille attempted on numerous occasions to secure David to a contract extension, but the two parties were unable to reach a consensus.

Additionally, David also seems eager to complete the transfer, with his representatives having a strong wish to re-locate to England, where a significant amount of clubs can offer European football, in addition to competitive wages.

David’s capability to fit himself into various attacking styles is what qualifies him to be a player for clubs looking to enhance their attacking capability.

Despite the fact that he remains the first choice, the highly competitive English football environment may affect his selection.

With the window of opportunity pending, his career hangs in the balance, but one thing is certain: the battle for his autograph will be fierce.

It will most likely be a matter of whose vision of athleticism and playing time on the court will be best for him.

The fans will simply have to wait and watch where the Canadian phenomenon will be hanging his hat next season.
