On Friday, the Serie A giants announced that they had reached a five-year agreement with David, and one that will pay him at least $7 million per season, reports suggest. It’s a landmark moment for him, and the latest growth in North Americans finding success in Europe.

Juventus’ latest acquisition of Jonathan David has been met with optimism from several Italian football analysts, as reported by Bianconera News and Tutto Juve. The Canadian striker, who arrives as the first major reinforcement under the new management this summer, is seen as a versatile and dynamic addition to Igor Tudor’s squad.

The 25-year-old announced in May he would be departing Lille at the end of his contract this summer after five seasons at the club.
