Canadian star forward Jonathan David is on the move from Gent to Lille in a $35 million (30 million euros) transfer, leaving the Belgian top flight for France's Ligue 1.
David, 20, scored 37 goals for Gent in all competitions over the last two seasons, 23 of which came last season. Along with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, he represents the core of Canada's rising talent, and at Lille, he'll team with a young U.S. national team prospect, winger Tim Weah.
David will wear the No. 9 shirt for Lille, which will compete in next season's UEFA Europa League by virtue of a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1's abbreviated season.
