Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Canadian striker Jonathan David from Serie A club Juventus in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are interested in Jonathan David. The two high-profile clubs are eager to bolster their offensive units by signing a striker in the winter transfer window. So, they have set their sights on the 25-year-old Juventus centre-forward.
A winter deal for the Brooklyn-born striker may be on the cards, as he has struggled to make his mark since completing a Bosman move in the summer transfer window. The possibility of making a significant profit from his departure appeals to Juventus, thus giving Tottenham and Bayern Munich an opportunity to secure his services.
Jonathan David and his struggles at Juventus
Jonathan David has hit a brick wall since completing a Bosman move to Juventus in the summer transfer window. The 25-year-old seemed like a match made in heaven for the Serie A giants after scoring on his Serie A debut against Parma. However, he has yet to find the back of the net since then.
The Canadian international has managed only one goal and one assist in ten appearances across all competitions thus far, with his game time reducing due to his struggles. David, once a prolific striker at LOSC Lille, has now reached a crossroads in his career. However, his stock in the market remains high, with Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich among the prospective suitors viyng for his signature heading into the winter transfer window.
A man in demand
Tottenham Hotspur wanted to sign Jonathan David in the summer transfer window, but a deal did not materialise. The continued interest makes sense, as Dominic Solanke has struggled to make his mark since arriving from Bournemouth last year. Additionally, Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
As for Bayern Munich, it is unclear why David is a target for the winter transfer window. Harry Kane is in the form of his life, and Nicolas Jackson is a top-notch deputy to the English striker. So, it is unclear how David will fit into the scheme of things at Bayern Munich in the second half of the 2025/26 season.
