Canada international Jonathan David has announced he will leave Lille when his contract expires in June.
The 25-year-old departs Lille after five years, in which time he has made 231 appearances, scored 109 goals and provided 30 assists, in addition to winning the 2020-21 Ligue 1 title.
He confirmed his departure in a video posted on social media, and will now become a free agent in the summer.

David said: “I’ve had five wonderful seasons here. It has not always been easy, but I hope that with my goals and my celebrations, I’ve managed to bring you some joy.
“Notably, the French Championship (2020-21) and the French Super Cup (2021). I think that with these two trophies together, we have brought a lot of pleasure and joy.
“I would like to thank all my teammates, all the coaches, staff, technical teams, medical teams and managers. Everyone I have met during my time at the club, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Thank you for 5 amazing years Jonathan David ❤️🥺 pic.twitter.com/PfJUkHWDU8

The Athletic reported in April that David’s representatives had held talks with West Ham United’s hierarchy. The Premier League club hold a longstanding interest in the forward, which dates back to January 2021. David also held talks with Chelsea in the summer of 2024.
His Lille exit had been anticipated, with Lille president Olivier Letang giving his public blessing to a move the previous summer.
David moved from Canada to Belgium in 2018 and joined Gent’s academy, scoring 37 goals and provide 15 assists in 83 games for their senior side.
The Canada international’s form in Belgium prompted Lille to sign the then-20-year-old forward in the summer of 2020.
After joining the French side, David established himself as one of Ligue 1’s most reliable goal scorers. He helped Lille win the Ligue 1 title in 2021, scoring 19 goals in 48 games to end Paris Saint-Germain’s run of three successive league titles. Lille also beat PSG 1-0 to win the French Super Cup in August 2021.
Lille are fifth in Ligue 1 and will end their campaign against Reims at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday.

Slováci vydřeli důležitou výhru, ale přiznali problémy: Přílišný respekt, chybí nám komunikace
Papírový favorit v začátku daroval soupeři jednu šanci za druhou. „Odskakovaly nám puky, byli jsme neorganizovaní a propadali jsme. Samuel Hlavaj ale předvedl klíčové zákroky,“ chválil Országh gólmana.Hlavaj sice lovil puk ze sítě už ve druhé minutě, ovšem zachránila ho trenérská výzva na ofsajd. Následně však měl spoustu práce. „Možná máme ze soupeřů příliš velký respekt. Jdeme do zápasu s tím, že ho musíme vyhrát, a to nám svazuje ruce,“ mínil pro slovenská média útočník Adam Sýkora.Foto: Anders Wiklund, ČTK/APSlovenský bek Andrej Golian (vlevo) v souboji s francouzským útočníkem Timem Bozonem. První třetina se nepozdávala ani kapitánovi Matúši Sukeľovi. „Chyběla nám agresivita, nehráli jsme kompaktně a byli jsme pozdě v soubojích. Navíc jsme měli problémy s dlouhými přihrávkami i kvůli tomu, že málo komunikujeme.

Cooper Flagg shocked by ‘crazy draft lottery’ as Mavs jump at opportunity for ‘a fresh start’
CHICAGO — Cooper Flagg may have been the most invested in learning who will pick first in next month’s NBA Draft, but he was just as shocked as the rest of the country to learn that the Dallas Mavericks won the lottery Monday night.He sat in a conference room at the McCormick Place West Convention Center and watched as the teams rattled off the board. When NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced that the Mavericks had won, well, he didn’t seem to expect it either.Advertisement“I was surprised, like a lot of people,” Flagg said Wednesday. “It was kind of a crazy draft lottery.”That’s an understatement. The Mavericks won the lottery despite coming into the night with a 1.8 percent chance of doing so — the second-longest of any lottery winner. It capped off a chaotic last four months.The Mavs were […]
Inside the Vancouver Canucks’ decision to hire Adam Foote as their head coach
Adam Foote, as it turned out, had the presence and weight that Vancouver Canucks brass was looking for in the 22nd head coach in franchise history.It was a surprise hire for a lot of observers. Foote has never been a head coach at the professional level, and his brief stint as a WHL head coach with the Kelowna Rockets ended poorly.AdvertisementA decorated shutdown defender, who won at every level as a player, Foote had become Rick Tocchet’s closest confidant and collaborator during his two and a half seasons as Vancouver’s bench boss. Short of earning a promotion of this variety, the widespread assumption was that Foote would’ve departed to join Tocchet’s staff wherever the former Canucks head coach landed.Foote, however, made a sufficiently strong impression on the Canucks that they leapt to proactively land their man, and call their shot.The […]
