Jonathan David has been linked with a move to Tottenham as a replacement for Harry Kane since the summer.
Tottenham approached the French club to negotiate a move for him, but were met with a €60 million asking price, which appears to be the release clause in his contract.
However, according to della Gazzetta dello Sport (via TeamTalk), Lille has reduced its asking price to €40 million following his disappointing performances this season.
According to the source, the revelation is a huge boost for Spurs, who are now ‘preparing a proposal’ to bring him to North London.
Jonathan David’s outstanding performance last season, in which he scored 26 goals across all competitions, piqued the interest of various clubs.
He joined Lille in 2020 and has appeared in 136 games for them, scoring 62 goals and assisting on 11.
Tottenham needs players to fill various places in their limited roster.
While the defence and midfield are regarded as priorities, the Spurs also require another attacker.
Richarlison is injured and battling with form, while Manor Solomon and Perisic are sidelined.
They recruited Brennan Johnson, but that is insufficient, especially given that they would be missing captain and top forward Heung-min Son for a month during the Asian Cup in January.
The majority of the goals have come from Son, and they will require a top-tier out-and-out striker who can chip in with goals, particularly during his absence.
And the Canadian striker, 23, may be an excellent addition to the squad.
