Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Jonathan David from Ligue 1 club LOSC Lille.
According to a report from L’Equipe, they have already begun negotiations with the player regarding a summer move. The 25-year-old has had an outstanding season in France, and he has 25 goals to his name in 48 matches. He has picked up 12 assists along the way as well. He could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Tottenham.
It is no secret that they need more quality in the attacking unit, and the Canadian international could share the goalscoring with Dominic Solanke. It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They need quality players for that to happen. David is certainly one of the most exciting attacking players in European football right now, and he could improve them immensely.
Furthermore, he will be a free agent in a few weeks and signing a player of his ability on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke. Multiple other clubs are keen on the player as well, and they are hoping to convince him. Spurs must look to act swiftly to get the deal done.
David is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to test himself at the highest level. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be quite exciting for him. Even though Tottenham have struggled this season, they have what it takes to bounce back strongly.
They are currently in the final of the UEFA Europa League, and if they manage to win the competition, they will secure qualification to the Champions League. That could make them an attractive destination for players like David.
