Canada international Jonathan David could leave Lille this summer, report L’Équipe. The 23-year-old is attracting interest from Chelsea and Tottenham as well as fellow French side Paris Saint-Germain.

The forward, who featured in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has scored 21 times in Ligue 1 this season.
