Alasdair Gold has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to show interest in signing Jonathan David, whose future has been the subject of much speculation.
David is currently with the Canadian squad at Copa America, with the North American side defying expectations by making it into the final eight of the competition.
While the 24-year-old might be focused on the upcoming quarterfinal clash against Venezuela, he is soon expected to make a big decision on his future, with the striker being widely tipped to exit the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Just a couple of days ago, 90 min suggested that Tottenham and Chelsea are continuing to lead the race for David, while Man Utd and West Ham are also eyeing the prolific forward.
The outlet asserted that since the former Gent man has just a year left on his deal, he could be signed for just £20m plus add-ons.
Gold has now put Lille’s asking price for the centre-forward at £25m, confirming that Spurs find him to be a lucrative option.
When asked about Tottenham’s rumoured interest in David, he said on a Q&A for Football.London: “Jonathan David is certainly one of the potential targets on the striker shortlist compiled by Lange and Postecoglou.
“There’s a fair bit of interest in him because he’s reached the final year of his contract but at £25m for a striker who has a track record of getting plenty of goals each season that’s understandable.”

It does seem like David might become Tottenham’s top striker target for the summer.
However, Spurs will have their work cut out to land the 24-year-old, with several other Premier League clubs also circling around him.
One would expect the Lille star to make a final decision over the coming weeks once Canada’s Copa America campaign is over.
