Tottenham are in a four-horse race for clinical striker with 25 goals this season alone
A fresh update from one of France’s most highly reputed outlets has revealed that Tottenham are currently in a four-horse race to sign a striker who has found the back of the net 25 times across all competitions this season.
One of the most reliable goal scorers in Europe’s top five leagues is available on a free transfer this summer, and given the dearth of top-class number nines across the continent, he is unsurprisingly set to be one of the hottest contested signings of the summer transfer window.
Many of you would have already guessed that we are talking about Jonathan David, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over the past few months.
However, according to various sources, Spurs are expected to face a lot of competition as many clubs across Europe have asked for information about David ahead of the summer window.

A report from L’Equipe has now confirmed that the Canadian international will leave Lille when his deal runs out, but it is not clear as of now where he will end up.
The outlet says that the 25-year-old is expected to be ‘one of the most hotly contested properties’ of the upcoming transfer window, with several European giants stepping up their pursuit of the player.
The report asserts that Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Napoli and Aston Villa have already begun negotiating with David’s representatives ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, L’Equipe do not say who among the four is currently leading the race to land the Canadian international.
Tottenham are confident of landing David’s Lille teammate
David is not the only Lille man that Spurs are eyeing a move for, with his teammate also looking set for a free transfer to the Premier League.
Over the last few months, Tottenham have been installed as the favourites to land Angel Gomes by several publications.
It was reported by TBR Football last month that although the England international has been approached by around a dozen clubs, Spurs are confident of winning the race for Gomes’s signature.
