David sets lofty goal for maiden Juve campaign
Jonathan David has set a target of 25 goals for Juventus in his debut season with the Bianconeri having made a strong start to his career in 2025-2026.
The 25-year-old joined Igor Tudor’s side as a free agent in the most recent transfer window after five prolific campaigns with Lille in Ligue 1.
David has hit the ground running in his debut Serie A season, scoring inside an hour on his debut against Parma.
After also finding the back of the net in Canada’s 3-0 win over Romania in an international friendly on Saturday (AEST), David revealed his goals for this season.
“I feel good. I think it’s always important for a striker to start well and score,” David said.
“The goal is to win as many games as possible. I’ll try to score as many goals as possible. I’ll be happy if I score 25 goals, but if I don’t, I’ll still give my best.
“I think we can compete in every competition, and we want to go as far as we can.”
Juventus, which followed its 2-0 opening day win over Parma with a 1-0 win over Genoa, will face Inter Milan in its first match after the international break.
David said he understands the importance of the match as he looks to provide Juventus fans with some early joy over its rival.
“We know it’s an important game for the season and the fans,” David said.
“We’ll try to prepare the game as well as we can. It’s just the third game of the season, we’ll see what happens.”
