Lille star Jonathan David makes Liverpool stance clear after free transfer audition

Jonathan David believes Liverpool could be the best team in the world following their Champions League win over Lille. The French side's forward scored at Anfield to cancel out Mo Salah's opening goal. But with the Ligue 1 outfit already down to 10 men, Harvey Elliott's goal ensured three points and qualification for the last 16 of Europe's premier competition.
David has now scored against Liverpool, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus this term. The Canada international is in the final six months of his contract and is set to be available on a free transfer in the summer. The 25-year-old has previously been on a Liverpool shortlist, when the club signed Diogo Jota. The Reds have been linked with a move for David, who is not expected to sign a contract extension in France.
David was left with a positive impression of his opposition on Tuesday evening. "Very good team," he said following the game. "I think they might be the best team in the world at the moment. "Tonight is one more goal [for me]. I'm happy I managed to score but we didn't manage to get the three points.".
"We came against the first of the Champions League group so we knew it was going to be a complicated game even more so when we went to 10 men," he added. "It's frustrating, we wanted to hold on as long as we could but it's very difficult. "Today wasn't our day. The togetherness. Everyone is very solid and compact. We want to play and play our game this is how we're going to get further.".
