Jonathan David has been one of the most consistent goalscorers across Europe’s top-five leagues over recent years, having scored 104 goals and provided 27 assists in 217 matches for Lille.
The forward is now free to agree a pre-contract agreement with a non-French club as he is now into the final six months of his deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
It has been widely reported for many months that Tottenham are one of the Premier League sides keen on landing David on a free at the end of the season. However, a fresh update suggests that the Lilywhites are not optimistic about their chances of winning the race for the striker.
A fresh update by GiveMeSport has now claimed that the Spurs hierarchy are fearful that they will be unable to win the race for the Canada international in the summer.
The report states that Spurs were offered a chance to sign David at the start of the January window, but they decided against making a move for him, preferring to wait until his contract ran out.
However, Tottenham as well as London rivals, West Ham, are said to have concerns that the 25-year-old is now thinking about embarking on a different challenge with an alternative suitor.
