Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly targeting multiple reinforcements for their attack. Journalist Ben Jacobs has reiterated the club’s interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani but has also revealed that Spurs are keen on signing Lille’s prolific striker Jonathan David.
Jacobs suggested that Tottenham could make an extra attacking signing alongside Kolo Muani, with Jonathan David emerging as a viable option due to his contract expiring this summer.

He further added that while Spurs haven’t made concrete progress since inquiring about David last summer, interest from other clubs such as West Ham, Newcastle, and AC Milan could intensify the race for his signature.
Speaking to Last Word on Spurs, he said (quotes via TBR):
“Jonathan David was in the mix for Tottenham. They asked for the terms of the deal last summer, available for free. And who knows, Tottenham might buy two.”
“They may add a Muani plus one. And if they spend big money on Muani on a loan with obligation, it would be normal to look for something more economical. So David’s a bit of a free hit, might not be the most popular with every fan base within the sort of big six clubs that have been linked, but you don’t lose anything by adding David plus maybe another name.
“And that might come into Tottenham’s thinking come the summer, not David instead of, but David in addition to. So we have to wait and see, but I’m not aware they’ve made a more concrete move since inquiring last summer. I think West Ham and Newcastle and even potentially Milan could all be clubs to watch.”
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.
Last season, the Canada international delivered an outstanding campaign, scoring 26 goals and providing nine assists in 47 appearances for Lille.
David has maintained his fine form this season, already registering 17 goals and five assists in 27 matches across all competitions. With his contract set to expire in the summer, the 23-year-old represents a cost-effective yet high-quality option for Spurs.
Tottenham are also intensifying their pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani, with reports suggesting that chairman Daniel Levy has personally traveled to France to negotiate a deal.
The PSG forward is seen as a versatile and dynamic addition to Ange Postecoglou’s frontline, which has struggled with injuries and inconsistency this season.
The North London club’s attacking overhaul comes amid expected departures. Timo Werner, currently on loan, is likely to leave at the end of the season, while Richarlison faces an uncertain future after a challenging campaign marred by injuries.
Adding both Kolo Muani and Jonathan David would not only strengthen Spurs’ attacking options but also provide long-term solutions as Postecoglou continues to build his squad.
