That seems to me like a pretty nice step for him. Hope it works out.

Scored another goal this weekend. Also recently had his transfer market value increased to 300k. One of the highest value in the Estonia league

Goal from earlier this month. This guy needs a new club badly, this is unfair:

New bid from Randers for $100k rejected today.

20 goals & 4 assists in 18 games in all competitions this year to date.

[Mihairokov]

When Erik Sorga transferred from Estonia to DC United (for 450K Euros) in 2019 he had scored 31 goals in 34 games in Premium Liiga. David has 11 in 13 league matches this season and is two years older than Sorga was. Just as a benchmark.

One goal behind the league leader. David's team has two games left, the other teams of the players he would be competing against are done, so he has a real chance at winning the golden boot. League highlights are available on Youtube, he definitely looks like man amongst boys at times. His club will be in Europe but likely David will be gone by then. Need to see him at a higher level to determine what he actually is.

Misunderstood Estonian league schedule, there is still an entire half season left

The Estonian season goes until November.  I could be wrong, but I don't think his club will be in Europe.  The clubs which qualified from the 2023 season are Flora, FCI Levadia, Tallinna Kalev and Paide.

Oh thanks, I don't know why I assumed it was an 18 match season, very weird assumption on my part. So they are about halfway through the 2024, if they stay where they are (top 3) they would be in Europe the next season, but that's obviously still a ways away.

Looks promising.

Lets see what this guy can do in a higher league first.

Estonia to Belgium?

Wow. If he can contribute there it’s getting really really crowded at striker. That would be the 3rd highest level of any current striker in our pool (unless Ugbo goes to the PL). 

[mpg_29]

Another David?

[Kadenge]

Jebbo better get his act together before it's too late 🙂

Looks like it’s possible

It’s true though. I said it previously but he can’t afford to turn Canada down if we call him. If he wants to play in 2026 and its a coin toss between him and another striker the tiebreaker will likely be familiarity with the system.

A lot will depend on where and how he plays this season. If he performs well and is called by Marsch, I agree he should get on board. Playing for England youth is not going to elevate his status anymore.  Better to be with Canada playing vs our past 5 opponents and in the QF of Copa for example. Btw this would apply for any dual now. Our players are finally getting attention from the big 5 leagues. There's no discount on club career playing for Canada anymore.

[toontownman]

Great move for him. Exciting stuff.

[PiedPilko]

Hope they don't put him with their u23s

Guy has to stay fit and get minutes. He is nowhere near Canada, let alone England if he was to commit today.

I think his rumoured potential is still somewhat intact but he just needs to get fit and opportunites. He was struggling for the latter even when he was fit. It's been downhill since they recalled him from Burton.

On the flipside if he does get opportunies and starts scoring in the championship or higher he is automatically worth the call even at the last minute. Competition is amping up though.

And certain CanMNT players have played in Belgium like David or Larin. So if Promise plays in the Jupiler Pro League, that's great.
