Tottenham’s search for new players seems to be pushing them in the direction of a new forward player in recent weeks.
Spurs got through last year without ever really replacing Harry Kane and the likes of Heung-Min Son, Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson all carried the burden of trying to get goals, while Richarlison only did it fleetingly.
Tottenham, then, feel a new forward is very much a necessity this summer, despite agreeing to bring Werner back for another year.
Of course, with the Euros going on and PSR playing havoc with the English market, it’s tricky at the moment in terms of who might go where.
However, there are names of interest to Tottenham that seem to be confirmed by good sources.
And according to Alasdair Gold, Lille striker Jonathan David is very much one of the players Tottenham are considering right now.
Clik here to view.
Tottenham have Jonathan David on their list of striker targets
Discussing a number of Tottenham-related matters in a Q&A for Football.London, Gold has said that the Canadian international is very much a feature on Postecoglou’s wish-list.
“Jonathan David is certainly one of the potential targets on the striker shortlist compiled by Lange and Postecoglou.
“There’s a fair bit of interest in him because he’s reached the final year of his contract but at £25m for a striker who has a track record of getting plenty of goals each season that’s understandable.”
David has been linked with a move to England for some time now and has never quite seen a deal get over the line.
However, with the final year of his deal now there for all to see, it looks like a move to England could finally be on.
The likes of Chelsea and Arsenal have expressed an interest in David, while Tottenham, as explained here, could also move.
Dubbed an ‘elite‘ level striker on his day, David smashed in 26 goals last season for Lille to once again demonstrate his abilities in front of goal.
