Jonathan David was born in Brooklyn to Haitian parents. At the age of 6, he moved to Ottawa in Canada with his family. The ball is always at your feet and a dream that will soon become reality: to become a professional footballer. Gent brings him to Europe in 2018 and the 2000-born striker amazes everyone. Quick and technical, he begins to score with a regularity that deserves the call of the Lille. In France he wins Ligue 1 as a protagonist and is confirmed as one of the potential cracks in world football. So much so that the cell phone of his agent begins to ring insistently: on the other side of the phone the best clubs in the world. Milan and Inter have moved but the evaluation of the Breton club holds back any ambitions: 60 million euros plus bonuses.
PREMIER DESTINATION- At 22, David can already boast 20 goals and 11 assists in 27 appearances for the national team. Indeed, he is doing much more: thanks to his great talent, Canada is one step away from qualifying for the World Cup. Lille rejoices because they have in their hands a jewel destined to become a great capital gain. But what he will hardly play in Italy next season: Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Newcastle I’m ahead in discussions with the French champions.
