The Canada international has attracted the attention of Europe\u2019s biggest clubs over the past few years. Chelsea\u2019s Premier League rivals Tottenham have long been linked, with previous head coach Antonio Conte reportedly lining up the attacker as Harry Kane\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n
That move ultimately did not materialise. It is claimed that teams were put off by Lille\u2019s \u00a351m valuation in last summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n
David subsequently had a tough start to the season but has been in fantastic form since returning from the November international break. He has scored four times in his last six appearances, catching the eye of Europe\u2019s top scouts.<\/p>\n
According to TeleFoot, one of those teams are Chelsea. The Blues are desperate for a new centre-forward having struggled in front of goal in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is desperate for a prolific striker. David has reportedly been added to Chelsea\u2019s shortlist.<\/p>\n
Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney have also been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge as summer arrival Nicolas Jackson continues to underperform. Speaking about links with Chelsea, AC Milan, Napoli and Atletico Madrid, David said earlier this month that he was \u2018flattered\u2019 by transfer interest.<\/p>\n
He revealed: \u201cWhen you\u2019re young, these are the clubs you watch, these are the clubs that you think about. It\u2019s flattering.<\/p>\n
I appreciate it. As we say every year, we\u2019ll see what the future has in store for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kane departed for Bayern Munich in the summer but David did not join the north Londoners, with Conte sacked last April.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chelsea could be busy in the remaining days of the transfer window. A new striker is a necessity and could be funded by the possible departure of Conor Gallagher, who has been linked with Spurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
