RB Leipzig have reportedly entered the race to sign Lille striker Jonathan David.
Manchester United have previously been linked with the Canadian and will now face stiff competition from the Bundesliga outfit.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig are interested in landing the 23-year-old.
“Leipzig, among other clubs, are very interested in Jonathan David – he is a prime target because he can play ST and 2nd ST target.”
“They are looking for solutions internally, but it seems difficult because it is very expensive.”

David has been in great form this season, scoring 15 times in 23 games in Ligue 1.
It would be an interesting option for the Red Devils.
The Canadian striker is quick, direct and can bring much-needed dynamism to United’s attack.
Erik ten Hag is said to want a number nine in the summer, and United are heavily reliant on Marcus Rashford for goals.
David would be a great addition to the team and complement the other forwards.
United are looking at other options like Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane, who will be very expensive.
Ten Hag must decide his tactic for the upcoming season and plan accordingly.
David would bring the athleticism and explosiveness to succeed in the Premier League.
