Copa America star features high on Tottenham list of targets for this summer

Jonathan David to Tottenham?

Canada’s Jonathan David is quite high on Tottenham’s transfer wishlist for this summer.

Canada secured their first-ever win at the Copa America on Tuesday against Peru as Jonathan David scored the winner in the 74th minute. While he is currently focused on helping his nation go a long way at the continental tournament, there is a lot of talk going on about his future.

According to a report from Football.London, David is quite high on Tottenham’s list of targets for this summer. The North London club are desperate to bring in a new number nine as they look for a long-term replacement for Harry Kane who left last summer.

Their record goal scorer joined Bayern Munich and they decided against signing a replacement last time out. While they did cope well without him, Ange Postecoglou now feels bringing in a top forward will help them take the next step. They have been following David for some time now thanks to his exceptional numbers in Ligue 1. The 24-year-old has scored 26 goals in each of the last two seasons and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed.

While Spurs do have other targets, David seems to be an ideal fit for them. Not only will he fit into Postecoglou’s style of play, but the Canadian international could be available for a cut-price fee because of his contract situation.

His current deal runs out in just over 12 months and the report suggests that he could be available for just £20 million. Tottenham are always on the lookout for opportunities to sign top players on bargain fees and this surely seems to be too good an opportunity to miss out on.
