The British press 'cutoffside' on the 15th (Korea time) 'Tottenham jumped into the race to recruit David. It is expected to be available at a relatively low price of 25 million pounds (about 45 billion won)," the report said.
Tottenham does not have a professional goal scorer.
In the summer of 2023, it sold its flagship striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. Since then, he has not recruited a striker to replace Kane. Believed in Brazilian forward Hishalisson, acquired from Everton in 2022.
He scored only one goal in the 2022-2023 season in the Premier League, but he increased his presence by scoring 11 goals in the 2023-2024 season. Still, it was not enough to fill Kane's vacancy.
Rather, Son Heung-min, a flanker, often plays as a one-top striker. Son Heung-min scored the most points in the team with 17 goals and 10 assists in the 2023-2024 season. Hishalisson was involved in the Saudi Arabian transfer scandal.
Tottenham must recruit No. 9 striker through this summer's transfer market. With Ivan Toney (Brentford) and Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord) constantly mentioned, David has also become a leading candidate.
Cutoff side 'In accordance with manager Engie Postecoglou's intention to strengthen his offensive power, Tottenham will find a new striker this summer. Tottenham have yet to find a Kane replacement. Tottenham desperately need a natural No.9 player.
David moved from KAAhent to Lille in French Ligue 1 in August 2020. He scored 13 goals in League 1 in his first year of joining, and scored 24 goals in the 2022-2023 season and 19 goals in the 2023-2024 season. In Copa America 2024, he scored two goals. Canada made a fourth-place upset.

When Lille recruited David, the transfer fee paid was about 22 million pounds (40 billion won). According to Transfermarkt, David's ransom soared to 42 million pounds (about 75 billion won) this summer.
However, as David is soon released as a free agent, the actual transfer fee market seems to have fallen further.
Cutoffside is expected to offer 'Lil around £25 million. There is a growing interest in David. David proved his worth in Copa America. He knows how to score a goal. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has many creative players. It would be an ideal recruit if he took the opportunity to play for Postecoglou's offensive team.
Cutoffside predicted 'Players like Son Heung-min, James Maddison and Dejan Klusevski will want to play alongside David, a natural No. 9 striker with a finishing touch.
