Tottenham Hotspur are interested in acquiring the services of highly sought-after LOSC Lille forward Jonathan David.
The North London club’s search for a new number nine continues as we head into the final few weeks of the transfer window. While they have been linked with some of the biggest forwards in world football, Tottenham are yet to sign a top-level striker who can help them take the next step.
According to a report from L’Equipe, Spurs are in the race to sign Jonathan David who is on the wishlist of quite a few top clubs from across Europe. The Canadian international’s contract at LOSC Lille runs out in 12 months and Tottenham have the perfect opportunity to sign him for a cut-price fee.
David has gone from strength to strength since joining the French club. Last season, the 24-year-old striker was involved in 47 matches and managed to contribute towards 35 goals. He found the back of the net on 26 occasions. While Lille are keen on extending his stay, the former KAA Gent striker is not interested in penning a new deal as he wants to move to a bigger club.
AS Roma were keen on his signature, so they approached him and made a contract offer. But David has turned down the opportunity to join the Italian giants. It is a massive boost for Spurs who have been looking for a long-term replacement for Harry Kane who left the club last summer. The Canadian international could be the perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s team and he will add goals to their squad. But they will need to move quickly if they want to sign him before the end of the window.
