Scouting Report & Player Insights
Jonathan David is a sharp, clinical striker who built his reputation as a consistent double-digit goalscorer for Lille in Ligue 1 before a free transfer to Juventus in 2025. He thrives on quick acceleration, intelligent movement between the lines, and a cool finishing touch in one-on-one situations rather than heavy physical presence. At Juventus he is expected to compete for a starting centre-forward role in Serie A while continuing as captain and focal point of the Canada national team. His game is built more on timing and composure than dribbling flair or aerial dominance.
Was Lille's top scorer across multiple Ligue 1 seasons and a key figure in their attack.
A primary goal threat for the Canada national team and their all-time leading scorer.
Joined Juventus on a free transfer after his Lille contract expired.
