The forward finished the 2022-23 campaign with 30 goal contributions across all competitions (26 goals and four assists), and it has now emerged that his displays have caught the attention of several of Europe’s big hitters.
Tottenham have looked at Jonathan David in the past
Jacobs revealed that David has been of interest to Tottenham in the past but he added that Harry Kane is expected to remain at the North London club in the summer.
He also named Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal as clubs who have eyed the Canadian international in the past but insisted that they do not see him as a priority this transfer window.
The journalist revealed that Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli are tracking David this summer while also adding that West Ham United are one to watch in the race for the 23-year-old.
PSG and Napoli tracking David. If Osimhen is sold, latter would be very keen. And keep an eye on West Ham. Spurs intent on keeping Kane, but another club that have looked at David before. After CONCACAF Nations League Final, David will start to seriously explore his options.

Spurs Web Opinion
With Kane now looking likely to stay and Richarlison more than capable of covering for the number nine role, it seems pretty clear that Spurs would prioritise signing wide-forwards this summer.
So, that rules out any move for David, who can only operate as a centre-forward or a second striker.
