Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering increasing their attacking options by targeting Canadian international striker Jonathan David.
The 23-year-old, who currently plays with Ligue 1 champions Lille, is valued at 40 million euros.
David has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea, but rejected the opportunity to move to the Premier League. However, Tottenham, who are looking for a replacement for Harry Kane, believe David could be an ideal alternative.
That’s because Richarlison, who was brought in to help carry the goal burden, struggled to emulate the Englishman’s greatness. This fact makes Tottenham very dependent on Son Heung-min to score goals.
Meanwhile, David showed his goal-scoring prowess in the French League. He scored an impressive 26 goals in all competitions the previous season.
At €40 million, the potential acquisition of David could be a good deal in the long term. With his undeniable talent, there is still room for further development and growth under the right guidance and experience.
Tottenham are enjoying a resurgence in popularity this season and currently sit at the top of the Premier League table. The addition of David in the second half of the season could bolster their title ambitions and provide the spark needed to mount a strong challenge.
The move could change the dynamic of their attack and strengthen their position among the best teams in English football. Manchester City star Jack Grealish has hailed Tottenham Hotspur’s extraordinary start to the 2023/2024 Premier League season. He also praised Ange Postecoglou.
The Lilywhites currently sit top of the league, two points behind Manchester City, who recently suffered back-to-back league defeats to Wolves and Arsenal. Despite criticism for their opening matches against bottom four teams, Spurs have secured seven points from a possible nine against rivals such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. (jpc)
