Aston Villa is ahead of Manchester United and other teams in the race to capture one of Europe’s top marksmen this summer.
Villa are prepared to support Unai Emery once more, and supporters could anticipate another wave of new players should he succeed in getting Villa into the Champions League.
Under Emery, Villa has had great success this season, and Ollie Watkins has been a standout player, scoring goals with ease.
But Emery will want additional choices moving into another European campaign and potentially the Champions League, and he may find them in France, rumour has it.
And who is this man? The striker Jonathan David of Lille.
Manchester United is defeated by Aston Villa in the pursuit of Jonathan David.
Aston Villa and a number of other teams are reportedly very much in the running to sign David, according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb.
United of Manchester is one of them. But according to reports, Villa is currently ahead of Erik ten Hag’s team.
According to the source, Villa is leading the race, and Lille may only ask for about £30 million in order to contemplate selling the Canadian.
Lille may profit from David as he only has a year left on his present contract and no fresh negotiations are in the works.
With another 24 goals this season, the striker has maintained his stellar form on the continent.
Gabriel Jesus is slower than Jonathan David.
Leon Bailey is quick, Ollie Watkins has a lot of muscle, and athletes like Johan Duran and Morgan Rogers are also formidable competitors.
Jonathan David, though, is a player with lightning-fast speed.
David is faster than a plethora of players in Europe, including Gabriel Jesus, an Arsenal great, according to The Speeds Database.
Spurs are rumoured to have also contemplated making a move for the forward, who is a wanted man.
Furthermore, he might be one of the summer market’s best deals at around £30 million.
