Few clubs in world football come with more pressure than playing for Italian giants Juventus.
With a massive footprint that spans both the domestic and European game, some of the biggest talents to ever step on a pitch have plied their trade in Turin, but Jonathan David is already proving himself in Black and White.
After arriving from Ligue 1 outfit Lille on a free transfer in the summer as La Vecchia Signora continue to look for a reliable lead striker, the Canadian international delivered a debut Serie A goal to lift Igor Tudor's troops into a deserved 1-0 lead against Parma.
The 25-year-old put his box instincts on display in the 60th minute, redirected a low cross from Kenan Yildiz with a first-time outside of the foot finish past Parma shot-stopper Zion Suzuki before being replaced by underfire frontman Dušan Vlahović in the 80th minute, with the Serbian going on to make it 2-0 five minutes later.
It was the debut he would have hoped for, and while Juventus will be keen to see him lead them to a first Scudetto in five years, Canada fans will watch with keen eyes as the 2026 World Cup draws nearer.
