Tottenham Hotspur continue their pursuit of a new centre-forward in this transfer window.
Spurs have reportedly intensified their efforts to secure a new striker, with Jonathan David from Lille emerging as a top target.
According to TBR Football, the Lilywhites have made further enquiries over the weekend regarding David, as they push ahead for a transfer.
The North London club faces competition from other Premier League teams, including Manchester United and Chelsea, who are also interested in the Canadian international.
David is entering the final year of his contract with Lille, set to expire in June of the following year.
This contract situation could make him available for a relatively modest fee of around £30 million, despite his higher market value of €50 million.
Currently, David is representing Canada in the Copa America, and Tottenham is likely monitoring his performances closely.
He had an outstanding season with Lille, scoring 26 goals and providing 9 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions. His impressive goal-scoring record and playmaking abilities make him an attractive option for Spurs.
Known for his speed and versatility, David is among the fastest attackers available, which aligns well with Ange Postecoglou’s fast-paced style of play.
According to the Speeds Database, he has a top speed of 32.60 km/h.
Adding David to the squad would give Tottenham a dynamic forward capable of enhancing the team’s offensive capabilities.
His proven track record and potential fit in the Premier League make him a prime target for the Lilywhites.
As Tottenham continues their pursuit of David, they aim to secure his signature ahead of their fellow Premier League competitors.
