Jonathan David (24, Lil) is in a ripe mood to move to Tottenham. David, who is playing in Copa America as a member of the Canadian national team, is a 'hot issue' in the transfer market this summer.
Lille of the French Ligue 1 team has allowed David to transfer. David is under contract with Lille until June 2025. Next summer, he will become a free agent (free agent) with no transfer fee.
A native of Hent Youth, Belgium, he made his professional debut in 2018 and moved to Lille in August 2020. David has scored 26 goals in all tournaments in the last two consecutive seasons at Lille and has been recognised for his goalscoring talent.
His biggest attraction after being born in the U.S. and moving to Canada is the low transfer fee as well. The transfer fee is reported to be around 25 million pounds (about 44 billion won).
It is also argued that it is more likely as it fits with Tottenham's chairman Levi's philosophy of recruitment. Ben Jacobs, an expert in the European transfer market, also noted Levy.
He said on the `Last Word on Spurs podcast'David looks like he is going to be a Tottenham player. Chelsea, West Ham and Manchester United are currently in the race to sign David, but Tottenham are believed to be ahead"This is nothing new. A year ago, David's transfer to Tottenham was raised. But the transfer fee was too high," he said.
Jacobs continued "The important thing that has changed now is that David is heading into the final year of his contract, and Lille knows he won't be re-signing. "It is better to get a fee now than to risk losing him to the FA in a year. "Lille considered £45 million (about KRW 79 billion) to £50 million (about KRW 88 billion) a year ago, but it is now less than £30 million (about KRW 53 billion), and it could be close to £20 million (about KRW 35 billion) with the right structure. Given that he is a striker who has scored 26 goals in all tournaments over the past two seasons, it will be an amazing recruitment."
And in the meantime, I'm sure you've heard a lot that 'It's not a Levi's deal, or it's not a Levi's price'. In David's case, it's a Levi deal, and it's Levi's price. So I think Tottenham will be serious in negotiating David," he added.
Canada, which was nominated for the head coach of the Korean A team, succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in Copa America with David on the 30th (Korea time). David's transfer negotiations are expected to be accelerated after the tournament.
