Tottenham Hotspur will have to fork out £25 million to acquire the services of LOSC Lille star Jonathan David.
Ange Postecoglou is keen on reinforcing his squad this summer after an impressive start to life at Tottenham Hotspur. While he is looking to add more quality in multiple areas of the pitch, the priority is to bring in a world-class striker to lead the line.
According to a report from Football Insider, the North London club have entered the race for the services of LOSC Lille star Jonathan David and they could acquire his services for a bargain fee of £25 million.
David has been in sensational form over the last two seasons. Last season, he was involved in 47 matches and contributed towards 35 goals. Finding the back of the net is not a problem for the 24-year-old striker who has scored 52 goals in the last two campaigns. He even had an impressive Copa America campaign with Canada as they reached the semi-finals.
With just 12 months left on his deal with Lille, there is no shortage of interest in his services. Chelsea and Manchester United are two Premier League outfits who have been linked with David and Spurs are all set to challenge their rivals for his signature.
The French club are resigned to the fact that they will most likely lose him this summer and they do not intend on standing in his way if they get a decent offer for him. The report suggests that Lille are willing to sanction his departure for £25 million. With the 24-year-old available for a cut-price fee, Spurs have a great opportunity to sign a top-level striker for the long term.
