Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur enter race for Lille striker: report

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are two of a number of Premier League clubs who have expressed an interest in the 19-goal Ligue 1 striker.Neither club is believed to have made a formal bid, but early reports suggest the top two sides could face stiff competition if they make further progress to sign the Canada international.Both the Red Devils and Spurs are looking for front-line reinforcements this summer, but due to the relative dearth in the market for that position, any target is likely to be hotly contested between the top clubs.Sky Sports News have reported that the Premier League pair are just two teams in their league monitoring the progress of Lille striker Jonathan David.The 24-year-old scored 26 goals and nine assists in 47 appearances in all competitions last season for his current club, before leaving to join national team Canada at this summer's Copa America.The report later claimed that no official contact had been made between Lille and any of the interested parties, but that the 48-cap international is on the watchlist of several teams.Despite David's contract at the Decathlon Arena expiring next summer, Transfermarkt still value him at £50m.
