Tottenham have been in talks with people close to LOSC Lille’s Jonathan David regarding a move this summer.
While Tottenham are actively pushing for the signature of Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke, they have other targets for the number nine position. LOSC Lille’s Jonathan David is one of the names on their wishlist and according to a report from CaughtOffside, the North London club have held talks with contacts close to the player.
Harry Kane parted ways with the club last summer but Tottenham decided against signing a replacement. Without bringing in a top-quality forward, Spurs did an impressive job in the final third of the pitch but they couldn’t secure a top-four finish. To take the team to the next level, Ange Postecoglou wants to sign a new striker.
He wants someone who has a proven track record and can be the leader of their attack. The arrival of a new number nine will not only add goals but also allow Son Heung-min to feature in his preferred position out wide on the left flank. The North London club are interested in the services of Jonathan David who has gone from strength to strength since joining Lille back in 2020.
Last season, the Canadian international was involved in 47 matches and he finished with 35 goal contributions ( 26 goals, 9 assists). With just 12 months left on his current contract, Spurs have an opportunity to sign him for a cut-price fee. They are pushing for his signature and recently held talks with people close to the player to make advances. David can surely be a great addition to their team, as a result, it will be interesting to see how things develop.
