Tottenham Hotspur eyeing move to sign Juventus star – Report | OneFootball

Spurs and Bayern battle for Juventus striker as winter window approaches

Spurs among clubs monitoring Juventus forward

Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are both monitoring Juventus forward Jonathan David ahead of the January transfer window, according to Fichajes. The Canadian international, who joined the Turin club as a free agent after a prolific spell at Lille, has struggled to make an impact in Serie A and could be set for another move sooner than expected.

David, still only 25, was tipped to become Juventus’s attacking focal point this season. However, he has found the transition more difficult than anticipated, registering just one goal and one assist in ten competitive appearances. For a player who built his reputation on sharp movement and clinical finishing, it represents a difficult period in his career.

“Jonathan David has not fully convinced Juventus fans yet, but his potential remains undeniable,” the Fichajes report states. Both Bayern and Spurs are now assessing whether a move could reignite his form and unlock the qualities that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after young forwards.

Juventus weighing up potential sale

Juventus are understood to be open to offers, aware that moving David on could help free up resources for other priorities. Having joined on a free transfer, any sale would represent pure profit, and the club may view the deal as a low-risk opportunity to balance their books while allowing the player to rebuild elsewhere.

For David, the adjustment to Serie A has been challenging. The tactical rigidity and slower tempo differ sharply from the open, transitional style of Ligue 1 where he thrived. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has praised his work ethic, yet it is clear that both the player and club are still searching for the right formula.

“The key is confidence,” said one source quoted in the Fichajes article. “He’s not lost his instinct, but he needs a system that plays to his strengths. A change of scenery could make a huge difference.”

Tottenham’s interest and attacking ambitions

Tottenham’s scouting team are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. The North London club are evaluating their forward options, particularly as they continue to seek a reliable goalscorer to complement their fluid attacking play. While their current attacking line has shown flashes of promise, there remains a sense that Spurs lack a consistent presence in front of goal.

David’s intelligent pressing and off-ball movement could make him an appealing fit for Thomas Frank’s high-energy approach. His adaptability across the front line also provides versatility that Spurs value highly. Bayern Munich, meanwhile, see him as a potential rotation option capable of offering depth and variety behind their established stars.

Key moment in David’s European career

David’s career has always been shaped by adaptation. After breaking through at Gent and then shining in France with Lille, he developed a reputation for poise and technical efficiency. Yet this Juventus chapter has been one of uncertainty. His next move could define his career trajectory for years to come.

At his best, David offers intelligent runs, quick link-up play and a composure in front of goal reminiscent of top European forwards. If Spurs or Bayern can provide the structure and confidence he needs, the transfer could prove transformative for all parties involved.

As Fichajes concludes, “The battle for Jonathan David may not dominate headlines yet, but its outcome could reshape the attacking plans of three clubs with major ambitions.”

Jonathan David would divide opinion. On one hand, fans appreciate his track record at Lille and the intelligence of his game. His link-up play, pressing energy and ability to operate across the front line could blend well with Frank’s system. On the other hand, his recent struggles in Serie A raise questions about whether he can adapt quickly enough to the demands of Premier League football.

Some Spurs fans see David as a smart, calculated gamble. At 25, he is entering what should be his peak years. If his price remains reasonable, this could be the type of signing that adds both depth and competition in attack.

There is a sense that Spurs require immediate impact, not another long-term project. Ultimately, the move would depend on Juventus’s willingness to negotiate and Tottenham’s faith in David’s potential. For now, supporters will watch with cautious optimism, recognising that the club’s ambition in pursuing targets like this signals a desire to stay competitive at the top level.
