Chelsea, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur all make contact over a potential move for Lille striker Jonathan David, according to a report.

Chelsea and Barcelona are reportedly among the clubs to have made contact over a deal for Lille striker Jonathan David.

The Canada international continues to go from strength to strength with the Ligue 1 champions, registering 16 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions.

Twelve of those strikes have come in 21 Ligue 1 games, which has earned the 22-year-old links to the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid and West Ham United.

Now, TSN reports that Barca and Chelsea have both touched base to register their interest in David, while Tottenham Hotspur have also been in contact with his entourage.

David's agent has already revealed that the former Gent man will not be staying with Lille beyond the end of the season, but the French champions are well-placed to demand a high figure, with the striker under contract until 2025.

David has struck 29 goals in 77 games for Lille since arriving in the summer of 2020, and also has 18 goals to his name from 24 matches in a Canada shirt.
