Tottenham Target World-Class Striker Upgrade Over Solanke

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David as a potential upgrade over their current forward Dominic Solanke. Despite Solanke’s solid performances this season, David could provide an even bigger offensive threat for Spurs.

According to reports, Tottenham are among several top clubs weighing up a summer move for David, whose contract with Lille expires at the end of the season. The 25-year-old Canadian international has been in prolific form, scoring 23 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions this campaign.

David’s output significantly outpaces Solanke’s 11 goals and 8 assists in 33 games for Tottenham. The Lille striker averages a goal involvement every 99.5 minutes compared to Solanke’s 133.5 minutes.

Beyond just raw numbers, underlying statistics also favor David in most key attacking metrics. He edges out Solanke in expected goals and assists, progressive passes, shot-creating actions, and passing accuracy among other categories.

With 31 goals in 59 caps for Canada, David has also proven he can deliver on the international stage. His combination of clinical finishing, creativity, and big-game experience could take Tottenham’s attack to another level next season.

While Solanke has been a solid addition for Spurs, David represents a potential world-class upgrade that could elevate the team’s title ambitions. Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board will likely face stiff competition, but signing David on a free transfer could prove to be shrewd business for a club looking to challenge at the very top.
