Aston Villa leading Manchester United in bid to sign world famous striker

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 should anticipate a new wave of arrivals if he is able to secure Champions League football.

Under Emery, Villa has had great success this season, and Ollie Watkins has scored goals to continue his stellar play up top.

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.

Aston Villa beating Manchester United in race for 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 as things stand, it’s said that Villa is 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.

Jonathan David is quicker than Gabriel Jesus

Unai Emery, as we all know, adores having a quick frontman on his team.

Leon Bailey is quick, Ollie Watkins has a lot of muscle, and players like Morgan Rogers and Johan Duran are also formidable opponents.

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.

However, the forward is a desired man, and it’s thought that Tottenham has thought about moving for him as well.

Furthermore, he might be one of the summer market’s best deals at around £30 million.
