A fresh update from one of France’s most highly reputed outlets has revealed that Tottenham are currently in a four-horse race to sign a striker who has found the back of the net 25 times across all competitions this season.
One of the most reliable goal scorers in Europe’s top five leagues is available on a free transfer this summer, and given the dearth of top-class number nines across the continent, he is unsurprisingly set to be one of the hottest contested signings of the summer transfer window.
Many of you would have already guessed that we are talking about Jonathan David, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over the past few months.
However, according to various sources, Spurs are expected to face a lot of competition as many clubs across Europe have asked for information about David ahead of the summer window.

The outlet says that the 25-year-old is expected to be ‘one of the most hotly contested properties’ of the upcoming transfer window, with several European giants stepping up their pursuit of the player.
The report asserts that Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Napoli and Aston Villa have already begun negotiating with David’s representatives ahead of the summer transfer window.
