Report: Spurs could hijack Newcastle’s pursuit of player Postecoglou is ‘obsessed with’ – The Spurs Web

Spurs and Newcastle want Jonathan David

It was reported by TEAMtalk last week that Newcastle have stepped up their pursuit of David as the club look for a number nine to replace Callum Wilson, who is set to leave St James’ Park.

It has been revealed that the Magpies have identified the Canadian international as their top target for the summer and were ready to pursue a deal for the player.

David recently finished 4th in the Copa America with Canada, playing Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur in the third place play-off.

However, MSN have now claimed that Tottenham have no intention of allowing Newcastle a free opportunity to sign David and will attempt to hijack the transfer.

The outlet explains that Postecoglou is “obsessed” with the idea of ​​signing a top-class centre-forward and has identified David as someone who fits the bill.

It has been revealed that the 24-year-old is a particularly lucrative target for Spurs as he is available for just £25m, meaning the club have enough funds to bolster other areas of the squad this summer.

With the end of the Copa América, it is expected that the competition to sign David will intensify in the coming weeks.

It seems clear that the striker is destined for the Premier League, but it’s anyone’s guess as to which club he will end up joining, with a number of English sides apparently in the running for him.
