David’s form for French outfit Lille – he has scored 41 goals over the past three season – has attracted interest from English giants United and Chelsea.
Manchester United will look to bolster Erik ten Hag’s attacking options in January after releasing Cristiano Ronaldo last month, while Graham Potter will expect to be backed with new signings in his first transfer window as Chelsea manager.
Lille star David featured heavily for Canada at the World Cup but could not prevent the Maple Leafs from finishing bottom of Group F with three defeats.
While in Qatar, David was asked about the speculation over his future and the rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League.
‘I am aware of nothing like that,’ the 22-year-old said. ‘When I am at the World Cup I am just focused on trying to enjoy the World Cup and enjoying the moment.
‘What happens after I do not know, we will have to see. The Premier League is the best league in the world and I think every player would want to play there some day.’
Canada boss John Herdman, meanwhile, said he was ‘proud’ of his team despite their group stage exit in Qatar.
‘I’m proud of what these lads have shown here,’ he said. ‘You know, I think you’re always gonna walk away from this, and it’s going to sting.
‘But there isn’t a game that we’re not proud of. There’s a qualitative gap at all levels, and we’re trying to close that. That’s what we’ll be doing, and that’s where we’ll go.
‘We got four years to build. But this is our first step into the big unknown and we found a lot of things out in that this team has got quality, we can compete. And we were close.’
Like Canada, Belgium also failed to progress to the knockout stages of the World Cup as Morocco topped Group F and Croatia finished second.
