Tottenham Hotspur among the clubs keeping tabs on Jonathan David

According to I News, Tottenham Hotspur is eyeing Canadian striker Jonathan David from French club Lille. Spurs are in search of the perfect replacement for the club’s all-time top scorer, Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich last summer.

Ange Postecoglou appears to have done his homework in preparing the summer transfer target list. From the identified targets, it is clear that the Aussie coach is keen on securing a goal-poaching striker capable of netting more than 20 goals in a season. Postecoglou tried all available forward players in the striker position for Spurs in the last campaign. While some managed to score, none exhibited the clear vision and consistent scoring ability of a true striker, resulting in Spurs’ overall goal tally falling short.

Ange Postecoglou managed to guide Tottenham Hotspur to a fifth-place finish in the league without the services of a prolific goal-getter. This achievement raises the question: what could they accomplish with a star striker next season? Postecoglou has now been linked with multiple striker options, including Ivan Toney, Eberechi Eze, and Joshua Zirkzee. Spurs’ intention is not just to sign a single striker but to revamp the forward line by including multiple stars from the summer transfer window.

Jonathan David is named as one of the best young strikers in Ligue 1. The 24-year-old joined Lille in 2020 from Belgian club Gent and has since made a significant impact. David has scored 26 goals and provided nine assists in 47 appearances for the French side. His impressive performances have attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and West Ham. Notably, Manchester United are advanced in talks for the player.

If Tottenham secure David, it would address the pressing need for a prolific goal scorer. His track record suggests he could adapt well to the Premier League’s demands and provide the consistent scoring threat Spurs have been missing. Additionally, by targeting multiple strikers, Tottenham aims to build a versatile and dynamic attacking unit capable of competing at the highest levels.
