Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise (USG) has made a significant move in the transfer market, signing former Nigeria U23 striker Promise David on a three-year deal from Estonian outfit Kalju, according to OwnGoalNigeria. The 22-year-old's impressive goal-scoring record and potential for growth have drawn comparisons to Victor Boniface, another Nigerian striker who joined USG two seasons ago and went on to achieve great success.
Boniface's time at USG was a resounding success, with the striker scoring crucial goals and helping the team secure a top-flight finish. His performances caught the attention of German giants Bayer Leverkusen, who signed him in a big-money deal. Boniface's success at USG and subsequent move to Leverkusen has made him a benchmark for Nigerian strikers in Europe, and USG will be hoping that David can replicate similar form.
David's signing is a coup for USG, who have been seeking to bolster their attack ahead of next season. The young striker's impressive record in Estonia, where he scored 14 goals in 16 games last season, suggests that he has the potential to be a valuable addition to USG's front line.
With David's signing, USG will be hoping to repeat the success they had with Boniface. The club's ability to identify and develop young talent has been impressive, and David's move could be a significant step in his development as a player.
As a dual citizen of Nigeria and Canada, David's performances could also spark a tug of war between both countries for his international allegiance. However, for now, USG will be focused on helping David settle into his new surroundings and unlocking his full potential.
Only time will tell if David can replicate Boniface's success at USG, but the signs are promising. With his talent, dedication, and the support of his new club, the young striker has the potential to make a significant impact in Belgian football.
