Tottenham Hotspur have struggled to have a consistent striker this season as Dominic Solanke has struggled with his fitness, while Richarlison has also failed to be consistent despite making a good start to the season.
Besides the duo, neither Mathys Tel nor Randal Kolo Muani have impressed since joining this year, so everything points to a new addition sooner or later, possibly in January itself.
According to Tutto MercatoSpurs are considering the signing of Juventus striker Jonathan David, a player who is also on Chelsea’s radar after a rough start to life in Serie A, having signed as a free agent from Lille this summer.
Although Chelsea have been linked with David, they are unlikely to make a transfer attempt in January with Joao Pedro playing decently at number nine, while Liam Delap has proven to be a reliable back-up option.
That said, Tottenham may have a clear path to his signing. The Canadian international is valued at £40 million on Transfermarktbut just six months after his arrival in Turin it will be interesting to see what his asking price will be.
Spurs are having a hard time for David in January
Jonathan David has only scored and assisted once in all competitions for Juventus, so his poor form is worrying enough for Tottenham Hotspur to reconsider whether or not to sign him this winter.
Furthermore, Juventus could look to at least give him a full season as there are doubts over Dusan Vlahovic’s continuity at the club as the Serbian international’s contract expires at the end of the 2025/26 season.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs have other options for January, but with Dominic Solanke expected to return soon, Thomas Frank will be hoping the former Bournemouth star can find some form and consistency.
