Lille forward Jonathan David has found himself a man in demand this winter, with his contract expiring at the end of the season. The Canadian striker can sign a contract with any club he pleases on Wednesday, and has a number of top sides who would be pleased to sign him.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid took an interest in David earlier in the year, but it appears they have cooled their interest for the time being.

So far this season David has 17 goals and 5 assists in just 26 appearances, including a winner from the penalty spot against Real Madrid.
