Tottenham’s search for attacking reinforcements continues as the club has turned its attention to Lille’s prolific forward, Jonathan David.
This comes after Spurs failed to secure the signing of PSG star Randal Kolo Muani, who is on the verge of joining Serie A giants Juventus.
Spurs have been forced to turn attention elsewhere with reports suggesting they have made an enquiry to sign Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho, who has been linked with a move away after failing to impress Ruben Amorim with his attitude.
Tottenham’s interest in David is not new. They have been linked with him for the past couple of windows. And it was reported a couple of months ago that Fabio Paratici is going to lead operations to sign him for free in the summer of 2025.
Ben Jacobs reported last week that the club plans to sign an extra attacker with Jonathan David emerging as a viable option. With his current deal at Lille set to expire this summer, the Canada international is reportedly being offered to Spurs by his representatives.
David has been in scintillating form over the past two seasons. Last campaign, he delivered an exceptional performance, scoring 26 goals and providing nine assists in 47 appearances for Lille. This season, he has continued to shine, registering 17 goals and six assists in 29 matches across all competitions, taking his overall tally for the club to 101 goals and 24 assists.
Dr Rajpal Brar: Jonathan David will have no problems clearing the medical
Amid the growing speculation, injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar has provided reassurance regarding David’s fitness. Speaking about the potential transfer, he noted the forward’s excellent fitness record and claimed that the player will face no problem in clearing his medical at the club:
Speaking to Tottenham News, he said:
“He’s had a pretty ideal record in terms of his fitness.”
“Last season too, there weren’t any issues and he even played every league game for LOSC Lille. Wouldn’t expect clearing his medical to be an issue with him also being relatively young at 25.“
