Tottenham will likely be in the market for a new striker this summer.

Spurs still haven’t properly replaced Harry Kane after selling him to Bayern Munich in the summer, and a new number nine may well be the order of the day come the end of the season.

Tottenham have already been linked with a couple of quality number nines in the shape of Joshua Zirkzee and Santiago Gimenez, and speaking on Last Word on Spurs, Ben Jacobs has named a potential third option heading into the summer.

Indeed, as well as Zirkzee and Gimenez, Jacobs says that Jonathan David is another player to keep an eye on from a Spurs perspective, claiming that he’s someone Tottenham have had an eye on for a while.

Keep an eye on David

Jacobs spoke about the ‘elite’ striker and his future.

“Zirkzee is an interesting one as we talk about the summer, there are two left-field names if we can call them that, one is Zirkzee and one if Santi Gimenez. Zirkzee is one to watch, Gimenez is one to watch and Jonathan David is a third name to throw into the mix because he was looked at under Paratici and Conte and we need to understand if they will return under the new recruitment team and Ange Postecoglou,” Jacobs said.

Brilliant for Postecoglou

David is a player that we’d be very excited to see play under Ange Postecoglou.

Not only is the Canadian a fantastic finisher, his mix of speed and energy would make him a great fit for Posteocglou’s high-octane system.

David working in tandem with Heung-Min Son could be absolutely brilliant to watch, and if Spurs were to go and get this deal done, there would be good reason to be excited.

This could be a fantastic move for the north London club.
