Ouest-France have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to consider a late move for Lille striker Jonathan David, whose future at Lille is up in the air.
Tottenham already have Solanke and Richarlison
Spurs have added more firepower to their frontline with the addition of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, with the striker arriving in a club-record £65m deal last week.
Ange Posteocglou subsequently confirmed that the club have no plans to offload Richarlison, adding that he sees the Brazilian as an important member of the squad (Football.London).
However, this has not stopped speculation linking other strikers with a move to Spurs, with Ouest-France now stating that David remains on the Lilywhites’ radar.
Tottenham still want Jonathan David
In fact, the report asserts that Tottenham remain ‘very interested’ in signing the Canadian international, who is down to the final year of his contract at Lille.
However, with time running out the window, the report asserts that the Premier League side would have to ‘work hard’ to get the deal for the former Gent man over the line.
Tottenham kick off their Premier League season against Leicester City on Monday.

Barring a surprise late sale of Richarlision, there is no chance of Tottenham moving for another number nine this window.
Links with Jonathan David also seem to happen every single window without any actual bid.
