Lille targets a Jonathan David Bis! Jonathan David officially announced his departure from LOSC yesterday after five seasons of loyal service within the northern club. Recruited in 2020 for 27 million euros, the Canadian striker scored 109 goals in 231 games in all competitions with the DOGUES. While his future should take shape between Italy and England, Lille must already consider his successor, a major challenge for the club.
According to The team This Thursday, a track to replace the center forward stands out for its originality and its many similarities with the player left: Promise David. 23 years old, this Union Saint-Gilloise striker also evolves in Belgium and shares Canadian nationality with Jonathan David. This season, he shone with 21 goals in 39 games, which attracted the attention of LOSC.
The parallel between the two players does not stop on behalf and nationality. Promise David, like Jonathan at the time of the Gantoise, emerged in an ambitious Belgian club, progressing quickly thanks to his technical qualities and his intelligence of play. His dynamic profile and his ease in an offensive system based on rapid transitions correspond perfectly to the style of play advocated by Lille.
A similar profile
In addition to this surprising track, Lille would also consider a more experienced recruitment with Alassane Plea, a 32 -year -old Borussia Mönchengladbach player, and well known in the region. However, the northern club seems to favor the development strategy and valuation of young talents, a philosophy that has made its reputation in recent years.
With Promise David, Lille could thus bet on a daring bet but consistent with his project. The young Canadian could represent this “wink of fate” to fill the void left by Jonathan David, while enrolling in the sport and economic continuity of the club.
