After joining the Lilywhites from AFC Bournemouth for a club record fee last summer, Dominic Solanke has been Ange Postecoglou's first choice centre-forward.
Richarlison is his substitute but has been sidelined by injury problems of late. So, it seems that Spurs have started looking at options to sign a new striker.

However, Tottenham is not the only club interested in signing him, taking advantage of his current situation as West Ham. Chelsea and Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also in this race.
Manchester United I previously wanted him but the interest came from the former coach and sports director, Erik ten Hag and Dan Ashworth. So they're not looking at it right now.
West Ham have been short on numbers in their attacking department following the absence of Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio. The Englishman has broken his foot, while the veteran has recently been released from hospital after a car accident. Therefore, both will remain out of the game for a long time.
David has demonstrated his scoring prowess in Ligue 1 over the years. He has now enjoyed a brilliant first half of this season, scoring 15 goals and registering two assists in 22 appearances in the French top flight and the champions league.
The Canadian is still 24 years old and has not yet reached his prime. He is a talented player and has great potential, so he would be a smart acquisition for Tottenham or West Ham if either club buy him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Lilywhites or the Hammers finally manage to sign David to reinforce the front line.
