Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made an offer regarding a pre-contract agreement with 24-year-old LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David.
According to a report by SPORT, as relayed by Sport Witness, Jonathan David is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The North London giants have submitted an offer to the LOSC Lille striker regarding a pre-contract agreement for the 2025 summer transfer window.
Recent reports have also linked the Canadian international with Barcelona. However, Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco have doubts about his sporting abilities because he “suffers a lot when he doesn’t have space”. So, the Catalan giants are cooling their interest in the LOSC Lille striker.
Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has made his mark thus far this season for LOSC Lille, contributing to 20 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 17 times and providing three assists. However, David’s long-term future at the Ligue 1 club is uncertain, as he has entered the final seven months of his contract.
With the Canadian international no closer to signing a new contract with Les Dogues, he will likely leave the Ligue 1 outfit as a free agent in the 2025 summer transfer window. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
Where will David land next year?
Tottenham’s interest in Jonathan David is understandable. While the North London outfit signed Dominic Solanke in the summer transfer window, Ange Postecoglou wants another top-class centre-forward to rotate with the English international. So, David has emerged as a viable target for Tottenham, with the club submitting an offer to him regarding a pre-contract agreement.
As for Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski’s advancing years have forced the Blaugrana to scour the market for a striker. So, David has emerged as an option worth considering for Barcelona. However, Hansi Flick and Deco have doubts about his ability in tight spaces.
So, the Catalan giants are “slowing down” their chase of the 24-year-old Canadian international. That hands Tottenham the opportunity to secure a pre-contract agreement with David regarding a move for the 2025 summer transfer window as his stint with Ligue 1 giants LOSC Lille closes in on ending next year.
