Plans are being made in preparation for the winter window…
Tottenham Hotspur have adjusted well to life without club record goalscorer Harry Kane. Under Ange Postecoglou, the Lilywhites have hit the ground running, going unbeaten after eight games to sit atop the Premier League, making their star man’s leaving yesterday’s news. With James Maddison, Heung-min Son, and others making headlines, it appears that the only way up for folks in North London is up.
The question is, how long can a team go without a reliable 30-goal striker before it collapses? Postecoglou will realise at some point that he may have an issue to fix, which is when January and a specific transfer target could come into play.
What is the most recent Tottenham Hotspur transfer news?
Spurs landed two of the summer’s biggest signings in Postecoglou and Maddison, with the latter swiftly becoming the former Celtic manager’s main man at the club. Despite their remarkable performance during the summer transfer window, the Lilywhites still need a true number nine after failing to replace Kane. However, as the January transfer window approaches, it is possible that a solution to that dilemma will emerge.
The most recent Jonathan David transfer report strongly suggests this as well. Spurs have switched their focus to the LOSC Lille striker, who is supposedly valued at €40 million (£35 million), according to reports in Spain via Caught Offside. According to the source, Spurs are interested in signing David in the January transfer window because he matches Postecoglou’s ambitions. David, who is still only 23 years old, may undoubtedly assist replace Kane’s golden boots, and he could even be the final piece of the puzzle for Postecoglou at Spurs.
How talented is Jonathan David?
David had a goal and assist total of 30 in all competitions last season, finding the back of the net 26 times and turning provider four times, and he has had a similarly remarkable start this season. So far, the Lille forward has scored four goals, and David’s stats have even exceeded Spurs forward Richarlison in a number of categories in league action, according to FBref.
The Canada international has received well-deserved accolades for his recent performances, particularly from journalist Austin Ditlhobolo, who recently stated on X: “Jonathan David, 21, is a predator in the box.” Unbelievable finisher who has just put Lille ahead of Salzburg. Current Ligue 1 top scorer in France. The Canadian striker has more goals than Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar combined. It’s no surprise he was connected with LFC.”
So, when Postecoglou is asked about who could replace Kane at Spurs, David could be the answer, making the January transfer window even more exciting to watch.
