Who is this?
Jonathan Christian David (born January 14, 2000) is a professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus. Born in the United States, he plays for the Canada national team. David moved to his parents' country of Haiti when he was still a baby, and immigrated to Ottawa, Canada at the age of six. Raised in the Franco-Ontarian community of East Ottawa, he played for several local youth clubs before moving to Belgium in 2018, where he recorded his professional debut for Gent. After two seasons at Gent, David joined French side Lille for a reported €30 million, making him the most expensive Canadian transfer to date, and the first Canadian to play in France. He went on to win the 2020–21 Ligue 1 title in his debut season before leaving in 2025 as the club's third all-time top goalscorer. Having made his debut for Canada in September 2018, he became his country's all time top goalscorer in November 2024. In 2025, David was named the 2024–25 CONCACAF Men's Player of the Year. He was also named the Canada Soccer Men's Player of the Year in 2019, 2024, and 2025.
