LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron will lobby fellow EU leaders to reject the two most prominent candidates to become the next president of the European Commission urging them to consider other contenders instead, two sources said.

The sources, who declined to be named but are familiar with Cameron's thinking, said he was opposed to both former Luxembourg prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker and Martin Schulz, a German socialist and president of the European Parliament, getting the top job.
