Tottenham backed manager Ange Postecoglou who made some new signings at the club this summer.
Spurs made a number of new signings, with their prominent arrivals being midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United and striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth.
They could now be in the market for another striker, who has impressed Premier League clubs with his performances.
According to Tutto Juve, Premier League clubs Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle United are in the front row to sign Lille attacker Jonathan David.
The Canadian international scored 26 goals in all competitions last season, with 19 of them coming in the Ligue 1.
He is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and his availability has alerted clubs across Europe.
Juventus have been linked with a move for the striker as well but the Italian giants cannot match the financial terms being offered to the striker by the Premier League clubs.
Despite signing Solanke this summer, Spurs are showing interest in signing David. It should raise question marks over the future of Richarlison at the club.
Postecoglou can do with some more attacking depth in his squad, as the manager continues to chase the big Premier League clubs in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
The 24-year-old attacker has consistently shown his goal scoring form for Lille and a move to the Premier League could be just around the corner for the attacker.
Tottenham face competition from Arsenal to sign David
Spurs would face serious competition from rivals Arsenal, who failed to sign a new striker in the summer and could make a serious move for free agent David.
If both the clubs make a move for the striker, it could come down to which club could offer him better terms and more playing time.
Next summer could decide the future of the attacker and if he comes to the Tottenham Stadium to become a part of Postecoglou’s team, they would have the best attacking depth in the league.

Former Tottenham Hotspur forward Clinton N’Jie finds new club as a free agent, years after £10m Spurs move
Tottenham Hotspur have had a patchy history in terms of signing strikers over the years with some rather forgettable names lured to North London.
Harry Kane’s rise to becoming a superstar at Tottenham Hotspur was a blessing and a curse.
Tottenham were able to witness Kane becoming one of the finest strikers of his generation and a club legend in the process.
No Tottenham fan would trade that period but Spurs did find signing other forwards something of a problem.
Quality strikers weren’t too keen on the idea of joining Tottenham just to sit behind Kane in the pecking order.
That left Tottenham taking punts on other strikers and the list of forwards to join Spurs in the Kane era is not exactly flattering.
Clinton N’Jie finds another club
Vincent Janssen, Fernando Llorente and Carlos Vinicius all arrived but didn’t exactly have long-lasting success.
Spurs have since spent big money on both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke in an attempt to add proven Premier League goalscorers.
The first to arrive was Clinton N’Jie though as Tottenham pounced to sign the Cameroonian forward from Lyon in 2015.
Spurs paid £10million to sign N’Jie, as noted by the Daily Mail, having been attracted to his potential in France.
N’Jie hit eight goals in 33 games during the 2014-15 season, prompting Spurs to sign him under Mauricio Pochettino as a player who could play up front or out wide.
The move simply didn’t work out as N’Jie played just 14 times for Tottenham and failed to score a single goal.
