West Ham, Moyes, Jonathan David, Lille, Transfer News, Latest
Taking to Twitter, Canadian sports reporter Matthew Scianitti has made a Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving in-form Lille star Jonathan David.
The Lowdown: Spurs eye striker…
As explained by reliable reporter Alasdair Gold, signing a striker is one of manager Antonio Conte’s four main priorities for Spurs as he seeks to begin the N17 rebuild.
Many names have been linked with a potential, namely Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic as the most prevalent target, but other, more obscure forwards can’t be ruled out.
In terms of quality, there are few options in greater form than Ligue 1 sensation David, who is already drawing comparisons with superstar Luis Suarez.

Making a Twitter claim, TSN sports journalist Scianitti has shared some news involving the his countryman and Spurs.
The Latest: David ‘open’ to Spurs possibility…
He claims that the Canada star is now on Tottenham’s radar as they join the ever-growing list of clubs eyeing a move.
While it is ‘unlikely’ David will be leaving before January 31, the player hasn’t yet got a particular destination in mind as is ‘open’ to all possibilities – including Spurs.
“Add Chelsea & Tottenham to teams interested in Jonathan David, @TSN_Sports has learned,” he explained.
“Barcelona & Man United still interested too, adding to Arsenal, Liverpool & Real Madrid reports.
“Jan move unlikely. David hasn’t narrowed his list, he’s said to be “open” to every possibility.”
The Verdict: Major coup…
If the 22-year-old were to narrow down his options to Tottenham, there is little arguing he would be a major coup.
Scoring a brilliant 16 goals already this campaign, David’s international record with Canada is equally as impressive – having netted a sublime 18 goals in 24 caps (Transfermarkt).
Valued at around £45 million by Transfermarkt, there is little wonder he could command such a hefty fee, with commentator Maximiliano Bretos branding David ‘phenomenal‘ for his exploits on the world stage.
