href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/jonathan-david\/profil\/spieler\/533738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transfermarkt<\/a>, has played a key role in the club\u2019s surge in recent years, winning Ligue 1 in the 2020-21 season and the French Super Cup title the following year, while netting 109 goals in 232 appearances to become the record goalscorer at the club.<\/p>\n<p>However, since joining Juventus last summer, things have not gone to plan with David not matching the goalscoring pedigree that was expected, having netted just seven goals and provided five assists in 37 games across all competitions for the Bianconeri this season.<\/p>\n<p>His form has led to speculations over a possible departure, with several clubs now showing interest.<\/p>\n<p>One of the clubs looking to sign David is Tottenham, according to <em>TEAMtalk<\/em>, which claims that the North London club has expressed interest in the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>TEAMtalk<\/em>, Spurs will likely be in the market for a new centre forward next summer and are keeping tabs on the Canadian\u2019s situation with Juventus ahead of a possible move.<\/p>\n<h2>Fierce battle<\/h2>\n<p>However,

report.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham\u2019s season is becoming bleaker and bleaker with relegation fears now looming after their 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>The loss meant that Spurs
