Tottenham Hotspur and this Ligue 1 forward are currently in negotiations.

 

16 August 2023

Journalist Sean Walsh recently revealed that

Tottenham Hotspur are in contact with

LOSC Lille forward Jonathan David this

summer in an interview on the Talking

Transfers Podcast. Said Walsh,

Tottenham will look for additional forwards;

they have already spoken to players like Gift

Orban. Last week, they spoke with people

like Jonathan David. Aleksandar Mitrovic

was mentioned in Graeme’s article from last

week, but we’ll get to that with Al-Hilal later.

 

 

 

David’s Impressive Season In French Football

David had a productive campaign at Lille

recently as he managed to put in several

productive displays for them in the final

third. The Canadian sensation banged in 26

goals and grabbed four assists in 40 matches

for the French outfit in the previous

campaign across multiple competitions.

The 23-year-old gave a good account of

himself in the opponent’s half and did well

to average 2.9 shots, 1.4 key passes and 0.8

dribbles per game in Ligue 1. He has even

been tidy when distributing the ball up top

based on his pass success rate of 82.7% in

the French top tier (stats via whoscored).

 

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Angelos

Postecoglu Go For David?

 

 

 

David excels at finding space for himself to

get a few strikes in on-target. He can be a

decent finisher in front of the opponent’s

goal and can create the odd chance for his

teammates in the final third. The Canadian

talent is a good dribbler with the ball as

well. Hence, Tottenham head coach Angelos

Postecoglu would be wise to go in for David

during this summer transfer period. He is

primarily a centre-forward but can also

function alongside someone else up top.

David would add more pace and goals to the

North London club‘s attacking department.

He might even help Spurs push for a top-

four place in the Premier League this season.

At 23, David has his best years ahead of him

which makes him an excellent choice for

Tottenham to consider this month. However,

only time will tell whether he can cope with

the physical nature and high intensity of

English football if Postecoglu manages to

bring him on board soon.
