“He is the only perfect fit, He can do it better than Richarlison or Johnson”- Tottenham has now progressed in talks to sign top notch star who is known to pull major upsets in winning trophies from big guns, Ange must capitalise, player ready to move

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly showing a ‘firm interest’ in signing LOSC Lille star Jonathan David in the January window, as per TEAMtalk.
It was thought that Spurs would be looking to sign a new established striker after selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich this summer. They were even linked with numerous options with David being among them. However, they eventually opted not to make a move for anyone before the deadline.
They have strengthened the attack in the summer window by purchasing Alejo Veliz and Brennan Johnson. But, while Veliz is still young and needs time to develop his career, Johnson is comfortable playing out wide.
So, after deciding not to sign a prolific centre-forward last time around, Tottenham are planning to do that in January. According to the report by TEAMtalk, Spurs have been showing a ‘firm interest’ in signing David and they have already stepped up their efforts to acquire his service.
The report says that Spurs are willing to purchase the striker in January, but if they fail to do that then they are ready to wait until next summer to secure his signature.

TEAMtalk further claims that the Canadian fits Ange Postecoglou’s system perfectly so he would be an ideal signing for Tottenham to bolster their frontline.
The report also states that the 23-year-old is open to leaving Lille and moving to the Premier League. So, Tottenham can manage to persuade the forward to move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane should they formalise their interest.
David – valued at around £52m by Transfermarkt – has already showcased his goal-scoring prowess in the Ligue 1 in recent times and the North Londoners will be hoping that he will be able to replicate the same performance in the Premier League if he joins the club next year.
However, it has been suggested that Spurs are also eyeing a swoop for Brentford star Ivan Toney to reinforce their attack. So, David could be an alternative option if they fail to secure Toney’s signature.
Therefore, it is going to be interesting to see whether Tottenham eventually opt to formalise their interest in signing David in the upcoming transfer window.

Report: Spurs will have to pay club £8.6m if they qualify for Champions League

It has emerged that Tottenham Hotspur could end up paying even more for Micky van de Ven if they are to qualify for the Champions League come the end of the season. 

Micky van de Ven was signed by Ange Postecoglou this summer in a deal worth an initial £34m (Sky Sports). He was regarded as the solution to all of Tottenham’s defensive issues, which sounds like a lot of pressure to put on a 22-year-old, but the Dutchman has thrived in North London so far.

Alongside Cristian Romero, van de Ven is now part of what appears to be one of the strongest centre-back pairings in the Premier League.

Spurs are currently unbeaten after eight games in the league this season and sit at the top of the table. It’s early days, of course, but there is now talk of the Lilywhites aiming high this term.

Micky Van de Ven’s price could go up for Spurs

A title challenge may be a stretch, but a top-four finish and Champions League football is certainly looking promising for Spurs. But, such an achievement will cost them.

That’s according to Sport BILD (via Sport Witness), with a report claiming Tottenham will have to pay Wolfsburg a further €10m (£8.6m) if they qualify for the Champions League, as part of the deal to sign van de Ven.

Apparently, this was one of the add-on clauses in the transfer, and Wolfsburg are now keeping an eye on Tottenham’s progress this season. It is said that if Spurs “continue to be so successful,” the German club will benefit financially, quicker than originally anticipated.
