Canada’s Jonathan David pleased with move from KAA Gent to Lille OSC
If there was any doubt in Jonathan David’s mind about transferring to Lille Olympique Sporting Club, it was erased after his first goal with the club.
The Canadian scored 35 minutes into Lille’s 2-1 scrimmage loss to Stade Brestois 29 on Sunday. David, who grew up in Ottawa, told media on Wednesday that scoring in his first appearance was exactly what he needed in his Ligue 1 debut.
“As a striker, I want to score every chance I get,” said David. “The fact that I scored in my first game with the team it gives me confidence to keep it going and believe that I can do it again the next game.”
David’s transfer from KAA Gent, where he was tied for the lead in goals in the Belgian league with 18, to Lille was confirmed on Aug. 11.
