Tottenham is interested in recruiting a £52 million star in January, and the player is eager to join.

Tottenham has expressed a’strong interest’ in signing Jonathan David.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to have a ‘strong interest’ in signing LOSC Lille midfielder Jonathan David in the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs were expected to hunt for a new established striker after losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich this summer. They were even linked to a number of choices, one of which was David. They ultimately decided not to make a move for anyone before the deadline.

In the summer window, they added Alejo Veliz and Brennan Johnson to their offensive. Johnson, on the other hand, is comfortable playing out wide, but Veliz is still young and needs time to build his career.

Tottenham are planning to sign a prolific center-forward in January, after declining to do so last time. According to TEAMtalk, the Spurs have a ‘strong interest’ in signing David and have already stepped up their efforts to secure his services.

According to the source, Tottenham are keen to sign the striker in January, but if that fails, they are willing to wait until next summer.

David is on his way to Tottenham.

According to TEAMtalk, the Canadian fits Ange Postecoglou‘s system perfectly, making him an ideal signing for Tottenham to bolster their frontline.

The report also states that the 23-year-old is open to leaving Lille and moving to the Premier League. So, Tottenham can manage to persuade the forward to move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane should they formalise their interest.

David – valued at around £52m by Transfermarkt – has already showcased his goal-scoring prowess in the Ligue 1 in recent times and the North Londoners will be hoping that he will be able to replicate the same performance in the Premier League if he joins the club next year.

However, it has been reported that Spurs are also interested in signing Brentford midfielder Ivan Toney to bolster their attack. If they are unable to obtain Toney’s signature, David may be a viable alternative.

As a result, it will be intriguing to watch whether Tottenham decides to formalise their interest in signing David during the forthcoming transfer window.
