Gent and
Canada goalscorer is among the world’s most wanted youngsters and says he would love a
Premier League chance
“I don’t think I would have been here otherwise, to be honest,” admits Jonathan David. The Canada forward was six when his parents emigrated from Haiti to Ottawa to begin a journey that has led to their son becoming one of the world’s most wanted young players.
Before the coronavirus pandemic halted football, David had scored 23 goals in all competitions for the Belgian club Gent this season and was being linked with a summer transfer to the Premier League amid reports that
Arsenal,
Chelsea and
Tottenham were on the long list of clubs monitoring his rapid progress.
