Nigerian U-23 international Promise David has emerged as one of Europe’s most prolific goalscorers this season, outpacing established compatriot Victor Osimhen in the European Golden Boot race.
David, who plays for Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise, has scored a combined 25 goals across two clubs this season, placing him 6th in Europe’s raw goal rankings. This impressive tally has caught the attention of football fans and scouts alike, with many tipping him for a big move to one of Europe’s top five leagues.
The 22-year-old’s remarkable rise to prominence has been nothing short of meteoric. Born in Canada to Nigerian parents, David began his football journey at the Toronto FC Academy before moving to Vaughan Azzurri and eventually making his way to Europe.
David’s professional career has taken him to several clubs, including Tulsa, Valletta, Sirens, and Nõmme Kalju, before joining Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2024. His impressive form in Estonia, where he scored 14 goals in 16 matches, caught the attention of the Belgian club, who secured his signature on a three-year contract.
On the international stage, David has represented Nigeria’s U-23 team, making two appearances in 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches. However, his dual nationality has also attracted interest from Canada, who may be on the verge of snatching this talented striker from the Super Eagles.
As the season progresses, David will be looking to continue his impressive scoring form, which could attract attention from even bigger clubs in Europe. With his name already being mentioned alongside some of the biggest stars in European football, Promise David is certainly one to watch in the world of football.
