Liverpool are reportedly among the leading contenders to sign Lille forward Jonathan David.
The 21-year-old is one of the rising stars on the continent following a big-money switch from Belgian top-flight side Gent.
David has been extensively linked with the Reds in the past and has continued to impress since arriving in France.
Now according to a report from L’Equipe, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter, Liverpool remain keen on the talented Canadian starlet.

The report claims that the 24-cap ace harbours ‘ambitions’ to play in a more competitive environment and Lille will demand a fee in the region of €35million (£29.7million).
So far this season David – hailed as ‘wonderful’ by Christophe Galtier – has scored 12 times in 21 appearances.

Predominantly operating as a central striker, the Canadian frontman can also play across the attacking line and would offer much-needed additional versatility to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
Already boasting an impressive goalscoring record for both club and country, David would come in with the intention to make an impact at Anfield.
Valued at £31.5million and under contract in France until 2025 (Transfermarkt), the Reds would be wise to snap up the mooted fee sooner rather than later.
