Tottenham Hotspur have already moved to strengthen their defence this summer with the arrivals of Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jan Paul van Hecke.
But manager Roberto De Zerbi is far from done, and further squad reshaping is expected in the weeks ahead.
Among the areas still under review is attack. Spurs are currently light up front following Randal Kolo Muani’s return to PSG after his loan expired.
Richarlison finished last season as the club’s top scorer with 12 goals across all competitions, but his inconsistency means he can’t be relied upon as a steady source of goals.
Dominic Solanke, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact due to ongoing ankle issues—underscoring the need for a new No. 9.
Tottenham set to battle Lyon for Jonathan David
Jonathan David has been one of the standout performers at the 2026 World Cup. After a subdued opening match against Switzerland, the Canadian striker bounced back in spectacular fashion, netting a hat-trick in Canada’s 6–0 demolition of Qatar.
That form is a world away from his club struggles at Juventus. David arrived in Turin with high expectations after scoring 25 times for Lille during the 2024/25 season—including nine in 14 Champions League outings.
However, he failed to live up to that billing in his first Serie A campaign, managing just six goals in 35 league appearances.
Now, with his stock rising again on the global stage, David has attracted renewed interest. According to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport (via Calciomercato), both Tottenham and Lyon are monitoring his situation. Juventus are reportedly open to offers in the region of €30 million this summer.
The Bianconeri are also planning to re-sign Kolo Muani from PSG, which would likely signal that David is not part of Luciano Spalletti’s long-term plans. Spurs had shown interest in the 26-year-old before his move to Juventus, and they have now rekindled that pursuit.
A confident and in-form David could offer a different attacking dimension and valuable depth to De Zerbi’s squad.
However, with Lyon also in the mix, the Canadian may be tempted by a return to Ligue 1—the league where he first made his name as one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.
