Report: Spurs can sign ‘long-term target’ for just £20m this summer

90 min report that Tottenham Hotspur can land Jonathan David for just £20m this summer if they structure the deal in the right manner.

Jonathan David looks likely to transfer this summer

The report says that David, who is now into the final year of his contract at Lille, has no intention of extending his deal at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.

The French club are thus inclined to sell the striker right now and are now receptive to offers from around the continent.

The report points out that Lille’s asking price for the Canadian international has dropped from £45m not too long ago, to almost half that now, which has caught the attention of several Premier League sides, including Tottenham.

Jonathan David is a long-term Spurs target

In fact, it is revealed Spurs have had a long-standing interest in David which dates back to Fabio Paratici’s spell as the club’s managing director of football.

In addition, the striker has also been a long-term target for Chelsea while West Ham and Man Utd are also admirers of his.

The publication adds that while Lille want £30m for David, he could be signed for a guaranteed fee of just £20m along with some performance-based add-ons.

Spurs Web Opinion

Some Spurs fans might view a move for David as the club taking the cheaper option yet again but I think the move would make a lot of sense. The Canadian certainly carries a major goal threat and would add something different to our forward line.

The fact that he is available for a much lower fee than the likes of Toney and Gimenez is a bonus as it allows Spurs to spend the bulk of their budget to address other areas.
