Tottenham have reportedly made touch with Canadian striker Jonathan David’s representation, while Chelsea is also interested in signing the attacker from Lille this summer.
The 24-year-old has been a prolific scorer in Ligue 1, and it appears that there is a lot of interest in him as he near the end of his contract with his current club, with Spurs and Chelsea both attempting to sign him, according to Football Insider.
David has scored a total of 26 goals in all competitions in each of the last two seasons, and one can imagine he’d improve on that with better players around him, so it would be interesting to see him at either one of Tottenham or Chelsea.
Sources have also told in recent days that Manchester United could be one of the teams to watch in the race for David’s signature, but it now seems that things may be progressing with Spurs and Chelsea.
David will surely be tempted by the chance of playing in England, but which of the linked clubs actually needs him most?
Man United could do well to bring in someone more proven than Rasmus Hojlund, just so that the Danish youngster has a bit more time to develop after being somewhat thrown into the deep end last season.
Chelsea, meanwhile, could do well to bring in an upgrade on another young player still learning the game in Nicolas Jackson, who was inconsistent for much of the 2023/24 campaign, even if he improved a bit as time went on.
Tottenham never got around to replacing Harry Kane when he left for Bayern Munich last summer, so they arguably need David the most, even if the Canada international is never going to be nearly good enough to replace the England international totally.
