With David being in blistering form this season, it's no surprise that he's been linked with many sides. As noted by SportsMole, David has been mentioned as a possible target for Bayern Munich.

The Germain side are looking for a lethal striker to replace Robert Lewandowski, as they have failed to replicate their success when the Polish captain was a part of the team. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has stepped up this season, but his numbers are nowhere near Lewandowski's tally.

Premier League interest in David

The Mirror reported that both Arsenal and Manchester United are also considering moving for the talented Canadian. The concern among the English sides is that David has admitted in the past that he was a huge fan of Barcelona growing up.

La Liga and David?

While Barcelona are yet to express interest in the Lille frontman, their La Liga rivals are keen. The Real Champs reported that the Spanish champions are interested in the in-form striker.
