Canadian forward Jonathan David is up for player of the year in the French league.

The Lille soccer star is in good company, up against Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé of Paris Saint-Germain, and Loïs Openda and Seko Fofana of Lens.

The winner will be revealed on May 28 during the Trophées UNFP awards ceremony. The UNFP is the French equivalent of the Professional Footballers’ Association in England and Wales.
