Report: Tottenham ‘racing’ to sign £25m star ahead of Man United and Chelsea
Football Insider have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are racing to sign Jonathan David ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea.
With Canada’s Copa America campaign coming to an end with their defeat against Uruguay in the third-place playoff, one would expect talks over David’s future to intensify over the coming days.
Football Insider claim that Ange Postecoglou is ‘obsessed’ with the idea of bringing a top-quality number nine through the door and has set his sights on the Lille star.
With the striker having just a year left on his contract at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Spurs and others have allegedly learnt that he is available for just £25m.
Spurs, Chelsea and Man United all like David
The report states that the 24-year-old has been on the radar of the Lilywhites for a long time and the club view this summer as the ideal opportunity to land the player.
However, the publication adds that Tottenham will find it challenging to push through the deal, with Chelsea and Manchester United also keen on securing David’s signature.
It remains to be seen who blinks first in the race for the Canadian goalscorer.

Given the modest fee that David is available for, one would expect a whole host of clubs across Europe to vie for the striker over the coming days.
It will be up to Spurs and Postecoglou to convince the Lille star that a move to N17 would be the right one for him at this stage of his career.
