After 6 years of playing in Europe, Jonathan David is ready for a new journey. The 24-year-old striker is prioritizing the Premier League. With his sharp scoring ability and experience with Gent and Lille, the Canadian star is ready for the football environment in the foggy land.
Since arriving in Europe at the age of 17, David has scored 10 or more goals in 6 seasons (an average of 16.8 goals/season). Notably, the brilliance of the young talent born in 2000 has contributed greatly to Lille's Ligue 1 championship in the 2020-2021 season. In the following campaigns, David became an irreplaceable core at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy team.
Jonathan David’s goalscoring ability is also varied, as he is good with both feet. Since joining Lille, the Canadian has scored 22 goals with his left foot, showing an ability to finish from tight angles and awkward positions. This makes the 24-year-old more dangerous at close range, as he can react to rebounds, cutbacks or crosses.
Jonathan David’s average shot over the past four seasons has come from inside the penalty area. The distance between the ball and goal has been getting shorter and the quality of his shots has improved.
These signs suggest that David can maintain a good scoring rate, especially in a team that creates a lot of chances. Another of the Canadian star's strengths is his ability to drop deep to help develop the ball from deep. David had a passing accuracy of 82% last season, which is only bettered by a handful of strikers in Europe's top five leagues. The 24-year-old talent combines well with the satellites around him.
In addition, Jonathan David has the characteristics that make him one of the most complete strikers in Europe today. Notably, the Canadian striker has a very good mindset when it comes to finding areas to exploit and creating opportunities for his teammates. In addition, his leadership ability is something he has proven with the national team and club.
This summer seems like the right time for Jonathan David to move to a club with a more global outlook and a more challenging game. His calm demeanor and vast experience could prepare him for the unique intensity of the Premier League. Known to Canada as ‘The Iceman’, David keeps his composure at all times of the game.
Premier League clubs are always looking for promising strikers who can quickly adapt to the harsh playing environment here. In addition, Lille only valued Jonathan David at around 30 million Euros, which attracted a series of teams such as Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man United to jump into the race for his signature.
