Never thought we'd ever see a day when a Canadian was one of the top strikers in world soccer!

Canada star Jonathan David ranks Top 5 in 2024 goal contributions

Everyone would like the new year to be better than the last. Statistically, 2024 was phenomenal for Jonathan David. If the Canadian can top it, he might put himself in the Ballon d’Or conversation in 2025.

Liverpool. Bayern Munich. Real Madrid. They are the elite amongst Europe’s big clubs. The Lille crest stands out when listed with those iconic badges. But amongst the top goal contributors last year, David had Les Dogues’ crest and his name higher on the list than any Canadian before him.

Only Mo Salah, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé had more combined goals and assists in 2024 than the Canadian men’s national team star. Now that’s some company.

David produced a total of 47 goals and assists last year, just two fewer than new Real Madrid star Mbappé, three less than Alphonso Davies’ Bayern Munich teammate, Kane. Salah led Europe’s top-5 leagues in production with 52 goals and assists in 2024.

Last month, David was crowned Canada Soccer Player of the Year for the second time in his career, five years after he was named Canada’s best men’s soccer player in 2019 as a teenager. He played in all 14 CanMNT games in 2024, scoring five times and adding three assists. Three of those five goals were match-winners: Canada’s first-ever victory at Copa América against Peru in the group stage, the decisive goal in CanMNT’s first win against the USMNT on American soil in 57 years, and the late winner against Panama in Jesse Marsch’s first game on Canadian soil as CanMNT boss.

Last year, David hit the century mark scoring goals in a Lille shirt. He currently leads the Ligue 1 Golden Boot race with 11 goals. He now has 17 goals in 25 club games this season. He has 26 direct goal contributions (20 goals and six assists) in 30 matches for club and country since the start of Lille’s 2024-25 season.
