David has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 42 matches with the Old Lady this term. Quite far from the 20-goal mark he was accustomed to in France, yet over ten goal contributions in his first season in Serie A, probably the toughest league in Europe from a defensive standpoint, means Juventus might continue to rely on the Canadian in the future.

A recent report from Tuttosport has suggested that Juventus coach Spalletti, who has extended his contract until 2028, might offer David more time to settle in by testing himin the summer pre-season, when Juventus will travel to Hong Kong and Australia for friendly encounters.

“For me, I think it’s been up and down. I came to a new club with high hopes, high expectations, and obviously, I wasn’t scoring as regularly as I wanted to,” David told TSN earlier this month.

“Maybe sometimes people don’t understand you, people don’t really know you so they tend to judge you but that doesn’t really matter because you have people that are close to you, who care for you, who understand the way you are so I’m not really worried about that.”

David also played down rumours that he does not have a good relationship with part of the dressing room.

“I don’t know how or why that rumour came out, but obviously I know it wasn’t true because I’m in the dressing room with these guys, we get along very well,” he insisted.

This was particularly evident in January when David scored and assisted in Juventus’ 3-0 win over Bergamo. Only a few days earlier, David had awkwardly missed a penalty kick in a home draw against Lecce, but when he found the net against Sassuolo, all Juventus players ran towards him to hug him.
