Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona are reportedly among the clubs chasing Lille star Jonathan David.
The striker’s fine displays and contract situation makes him an attractive option in the transfer market. He’s scored 17 goals and registering three assists from 23 games this season and has just over six months left on his deal.
A ‘confidential’ report from today’s edition of Sport mentions Tottenham’s interest when covering the latest on Barcelona.
They state the 24-year-old is leaving the Ligue 1 side and would love to join Barcelona, who have been following him closely for a while.
David will be a free agent next summer and that makes him an interesting option for the La Liga side economically. Sport add both Hansi Flick and Barca sporting director Deco have doubts over his sporting abilities because he ‘suffers a lot when he doesn’t have space’.
Therefore, Barcelona have slowed down their pursuit of the Canada international, allowing others like Tottenham to get ahead. Ange Postecoglou’s side want to agree a deal with David in January for him to arrive on a free transfer next summer.
The newspaper states Spurs have made an ‘important financial offer’ to the frontman and will wait, ‘but not for long’.
Barcelona are warned about Tottenham, and it seems like they can lose David to Spurs or another club.
