Rumoured Tottenham target Jonathan David is being hailed in the Canadian press after the striker guided his nation to a 1-0 win over Peru.
David’s time at Lille looks set to be up, with the striker, who is into the final year of his contract at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, expected to move to the Premier League this summer (Florian Plettenberg).
Tottenham have reportedly reached out to the 24-year-old regarding a summer transfer (Football Insider) but they are not the only English side to do so, with Man United, West Ham and Chelsea also thought to have made advances towards the player (Guardian).
On Tuesday, the Lille star showed just why he is so highly sought after, netting the only goal of the game as the Canadians emerged 1-0 winners over Peru in a Copa America group stage clash at Kansas City.
The media back in his home country were not only impressed by the forward’s brilliant finish but also by his work-rate and his all-round game.
Canadian Premier League wrote: “David executed well in his role especially on the defensive side of the game, making five tackles and an interception, also winning a team-high 10 duels and drawing five fouls.
“Plus, of course, he scored the winner with a fantastically composed finish. It was an all-around great performance, capped off with a moment that he’s been desperate for.”

David seems like the type of forward that Ange likes leading the line for his team, with the 24-year-old capable of combining well with others and also being a tireless worker off the ball.
A move for the Lille star would make a lot more sense for Spurs than pursuing someone like Santiago Gimenez.
