Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to sign a new backup striker at White Hart Lane given the struggles Richarlison has had at N17, and the North Londoners have reportedly identified LOSC Lille’s star striker Jonathan David as a possible target for the upcoming 2025 transfer intervals.
The Lilywhites have been looking at a move for the Canadian ace for some time; in fact, the 24-year-old was among those under consideration when Daniel Levy moved for Dominic Solanke in the summer window. However, Spurs may now compound their interest in bringing David to Hotspur Way.

Tottenham have reportedly opened talks for Jonathan David with his representatives for a possible free transfer in the upcoming summer window, per an exclusive from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football.
For the North Londoners, bringing in Jonathan David would be a big upgrade on current backup options at N17. Given Richy’s struggles of late, complemented by the fact that Dominic Solanke is still settling into life at White Hart Lane, Spurs are looking to double up on the quality upfront by bringing in yet another proven goalscorer.
And given his contract situation with the French giants, Tottenham are presented with an opportunity to secure him on a free transfer, and by the looks of it, Daniel Levy is positioning himself in quite an advantageous position to secure his services.
That being said, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have also expressed interest in landing Jonathan David.
