New boss & team-mate for USMNT star Christian Pulisic? Canada international Jonathan David sees Serie A transfer speculated on as part of double raid on Lille by AC Milan

The 24-year-old forward has enjoyed another productive campaign in France, with the 20-goal barrier being broken in back-to-back seasons. David is approaching the final year of his contract, meaning that he could be offloaded in the next window – amid talk of a €45 million (£39m/$48m) price tag being set.

According to Calciomercato, Milan are ready to explore the option of luring David onto their books. That cause may be helped if a familiar face can be acquired alongside the exciting forward. The Rossoneri are also about to enter the market for a new head coach.

Stefano Pioli is expected to be relieved of his managerial duties at the end of the season, leaving a prominent post to be filled. Lille boss Paulo Fonseca has now emerged as the favourite to take over at San Siro.

USMNT star Pulisic is among those that will be intrigued to discover who Milan hand managerial reins to, as he looks to impress a new boss on the back of a season that has delivered a personal-best goal return. Canada international David will not be a threat to his position, as he will be drafted in to replace World Cup winner Olivier Giroud – who is expected to leave Italy for MLS.
