24-year-old is ‘likely’ to end up in England amid links with Spurs – Journalist
Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has said that rumoured Tottenham target Jonathan David is likely to end up in the Premier League with a host of English clubs now after the striker.
Spurs are being linked with Jonathan David
David has just a year left on his contract at Lille and the Ligue 1 club’s president Olivier Letang confirmed earlier this month that the 24-year-old would be allowed to leave Stade Pierre Mauroy this summer if the right kind of offer is received (Fabrizio Romano).
A number of sources have reported over the last week that Tottenham hold a genuine interest in the Canadian international (Football.London) while the likes of West Ham, Chelsea and Man Utd are also thought to be eyeing a move for the forward (BBC Sport).
Plettenberg has now taken to social media to name Chelse and West Ham as the two clubs who hold ‘serious interest’ in David.
Is Jonathan David Premier League-bound?
The journalist stated that the former Gent star is also on Man United’s shortlist and added that the striker is likely to end up in the Premier League this summer.
He also asserted that a fee of around €20m-€25m (£16.8m-£21.1m) would be enough to prise the centre-forward away from Stade Pierre Mauroy this summer.
Plettenberg tweeted: ‘Chelsea and West Ham are seriously interested in Jonathan David!
‘CFC have inquired about the 24 y/o top striker from Lille in recent days. WHUFC have also gathered information. He’s also on the shortlist of ManUtd.
‘A move to the Premier League is currently the most likely. David, on the verge of leaving Lille this summer with one year left on his contract. Price valuation at this stage: €20-25m!’
Spurs Web Opinion
By the sounds of it, there is going to be an intense battle between several top Premier League clubs for David’s signature over the coming weeks.
One would certainly expect Tottenham to be right in the thick of the battle.
