LONDON – Following the successful acquisition of Conor Gallagher, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to launch a high-profile move for Juventus forward Jonathan David. According to TEAMtalk, the North London club is currently leading the race to bring the Canadian international to the Premier League this January.
Spurs face stiff competition from domestic rivals Newcastle United, who are also monitoring David’s situation closely. However, Ange Postecoglou’s side is understood to be the most “robust” in their pursuit, viewing the 26-year-old as the perfect reinforcement to bolster their attacking options for the Champions League qualification race.
A Proven Goalscorer
Jonathan David arrived in Turin last summer following a historic stint with Lille, where he recorded a staggering 109 goals and 30 assists in 232 appearances. While his numbers at Juventus have been more modest contributing five goals and three assists in 26 games this season his tactical flexibility and work rate have kept him in the sights of Europe’s elite.
Premier League Ambitions
The player has never hidden his desire to test himself in England. Reports from Sports Boom indicate that David views the Premier League as his ultimate destination. While he is currently adapting to the tactical demands of Serie A, the opportunity to join a high-pressing side like Tottenham is said to be highly appealing to the striker.
Juventus’ Stance: A January Roadblock?
Despite the mounting interest from London and Tyneside, Juventus are reportedly reluctant to sanctioned a mid-season sale. The Bianconeri view David as a vital part of their current campaign and would prefer to keep the player until at least the end of the 2025/26 season.
However, a “mega-offer” from Tottenham could test Juventus’ resolve. With Spurs looking to build on the momentum of the Gallagher signing, a move for David would signal a massive statement of intent from the club’s board in the final days of the window.
