Canadian striker Promise David joins Premier League’s Brighton on season-long loan
Brighton & Hove Albion has acquired Canadian striker Promise David on a season-long loan from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. The deal includes an option to purchase the player for around $29.7 million if certain conditions are met. Union Saint-Gilloise will see David play in the Premier League starting next season for a club-record fee, believed to be around $29.7 million.
The 25-year-old, who scored 41 goals in 82 matches for Union last season, helped the club win their first league title in 90 years in 2025. David earned his first international cap for Canada at the 2024 World Cup, netting one goal off the bench. Prior to his move to England, David played professionally in Croatia, Malta, and Estonia.
He recently made his debut for Nigeria's under-23 side in October 2022, but switched allegiance to Canada in February 2025 with approval from FIFA. Brighton's sporting director hailed David as a striker with "outstanding physical attributes" and a "track record of scoring goals."
