'One of the best strikers in the world' admits he's open to leaving after being linked to Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur had a really productive transfer window, recruiting five exciting players.

The North Londoners outlaid £124m and four of their five signings were teenagers – evincing Ange Postecoglou’s long-term vision.

Dominic Solanke’s £65m arrival from Bournemouth was their most expensive recruit of the window, followed by Archie Gray, who cost £40m.

Before signing Solanke, Tottenham were looking at a striker on the continent and now it’s just emerged that he’s open to leaving the club.

Jonathan David open to leaving Lille

Tottenham were interested in Jonathan David, who’s been labelled ‘one of the best strikers in the world’ per Toby Marinaro, earlier this summer and now he’s just hinted that he’d be open to a move to the Premier League despite being in talks to renew his Lille contract.

“Right now, we’re speaking with (LOSC president) Olivier Letang about a possible extension,” David told The Athletic.

“We’ll see how that goes. I’m open to anything. I think obviously the Premier League is regarded as one of the best leagues in the world. 

“And for me it’s not the Premier League or bust. I’m open to anything and every league has its challenges.”

Tottenham should go back in for Jonathan David in Janaury

Tottenham are lacking depth up front and need a suitable back-up to Solanke.

So, with David now in the final year of his contract, there’s a chance to get him in Janaury for a significantly reduced fee.

The Canada international had a £25m price tag in the summer so it’ll be even lower come the winter transfer window.

Though, they wont be alone in their interest.
