CanMNT's David up for Ligue 1 Player of the Season

Jonathan David has been nominated for Ligue 1 Player of the Season.

The Brooklyn-born, Ottawa-raised Lille forward was one of five finalists for the honour.

David's competition for the award is Paris Saint-Germain duo Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe and Lens pair Lois Openda and Seko Fofana.

David, 23, is in his third season with the team after a €30 million move from Genk. In 109 league games, David has 49 goals, including 21 in the current season. His 55 goals for Lille are second-most in club history behind Pierre Pleimelding's 62.

While David's current deal runs through 2025, a transfer in the summer is quite possible with the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Arsenal attached to him in recent months.
