Tottenham could sign Jonathan David before deadline day
Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly sign LOSC Lille star Jonathan David before the end of this season. transfer window, according to the former defender Alan Hutton.
The Lilywhites have already signed Archie Gray and Dominic Solanke to bolster their midfield and forward line respectively. In addition, Lucas Bergvall has also joined the club this summer, although the deal was finalised earlier this year. However, it has been reported that Spurs are still looking for new reinforcements ahead of next week's deadline.
Now, speaking of Tottenham News, Hutton says Tottenham could look to buy another striker despite already having signed Solanke and could sign David if he is available on a cut-price deal.
The former defender further claims that the Canadian is quick, physically well-built and also likes to run behind the opponent's defensive line, so he has the ability to develop into a top-class striker and could thrive in the Premier League.
Hutton said:
“He’s definitely got talent, he’s got pace, he loves to play in the back, he’s physically fit, so he could compete in the Premier League. I think he’s something that, if they could get him for a cut-price fee, they might consider and he seems quite versatile, which Ange might like as well. It’ll be interesting, I think he’s definitely got potential.”
David to Tottenham
With Richarlison future currently uncertain For the club, signing a new striker to support Solanke would be the right decision and the 24-year-old could be a smart acquisition if they buy him.
David has already proven his goalscoring ability in Ligue 1 in recent years, scoring 72 goals and registering 11 assists in 147 appearances.
The striker, valued at around £42m by Transfer marketHe has entered the final year of his current contract, so Lille could be desperate to cash in on him in the coming days to avoid losing him for free next summer.
Spurs can therefore secure his signature if they make a concrete approach. However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately look to sign the Canadian international to bolster their attacking department before this transfer window closes.
