According to Tuttosport, Lille could accept offers in the region of €20-30m in January to avoid losing David on a free in the summer.

The Italian outlet suggests Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus and Inter Milan are potential suitors.

Manchester United were linked with a move for David earlier this year, with journalist Ben Jacobs claiming the Reds considered a swoop for the striker. He also stated that Tottenham had the striker on their radar for a year.
