Tottenham Hotspur are in for a crucial summer window under Ange Postecoglou and have now set their sights on a prolific scorer to bolster the pedigree of their forward line.
Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer plans come to light
Upon assessment, Spurs have endured a disappointing campaign littered with inconsistency, yet could still snatch a backdoor route to Champions League qualification via clinching the Europa League title in May.
Ange Postecoglou has needed to weather the storm this season and the Australian's job security is said to be uncertain amid recent reports that Mauricio Pochettino could succeed the former Celtic boss.
Either way, he remains in position for now, and their transfer strategy this summer could begin with a move to north London for River Plate star Franco Mastantuono. Having made initial contact, the Lilywhites believe they could strike and deliver for a fee under his reported £38m release clause.
On the same token, Tottenham are in pole position for Wolverhampton Wanderers' full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is under contract in the West Midlands until the summer of 2026.
Sizing up potential targets on expiring deals could be a handy strategy, especially when factoring in the amount of finance left over to strengthen in other areas of the field.
Evaluating areas to bolster, Spurs' forward line stands out more than most due to Dominic Solanke's injury frustrations, which have limited the Three Lions international to 33 appearances this term.
Help could be on the way this summer, with Postecoglou now turning his attention to one of Europe's most prolific goalscorers, as per recent reports.
Tottenham in talks to sign Lille forward Jonathan David
According to a report in France via Sport Witness, Tottenham are in active discussions to sign Lille forward Jonathan David following the Canada international's excellent return of 23 goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances during 2024/25.
Arsenal and Manchester United are also on the case, while Borussia Dortmund provide further competition for his signature from the continent. Deemed an attractive option on the market due to his impending free agent status, the 25-year-old would favour a move to England over other destinations.
Labelled 'magical' by Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic, he has also been subject to a previous offer from West Ham United, but their interest has since fallen on deaf ears.
Continuing his fine spate of performances across the Channel, David also radiates a desire to bring others into play, with the forward creating 27 chances and completing 14 dribbles on league duty. Over the course of his career, he has struck 144 times in 327 outings.
