Tottenham Hotspur are rumoured to be on the lookout for a new striker this summer as part of Ange Postecoglou’s revamp of the squad.
The North Londoners were left without the services of Harry Kane on the cusp of the start of the Premier League season last year when the club record scorer joined Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Given the late nature of the move in last summer’s window and January often proving to be difficult to land a top target due to European competitions taking place, Tottenham are still to splash the cash on a new striker.
Football Insider have claimed that Tottenham are currently in talks with Lille over a move for Jonathan David, who netted 26 times for the French side in all competitions last season (transfermarkt).
The Canadian forward is within the last year of his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit and is said to be available for a fee in the region of £20m.
Tottenham are not alone in their interest in David with Premier League rivals West Ham United and Italian club Roma also keen on landing the 24-year-old.
The 24-year-old has scored 84 goals in 183 appearances for Lille across all competitions and had a solid campaign with Canada at Copa America this summer where he helped his country to reach the semi-final of the tournament.

With Brentford likely to want to at least command north of £50m for Ivan Toney following the injury suffered to club-record signing Igor Thiago, a move for Jonathan David may seem like a relatively low-risk deal at £20m.
There is absolutely no doubt that Tottenham need at least another forward if the club are to genuinely look to compete on multiple fronts, following their return to European action in the Europa League.
