‘With his electric speed and composure in front of goal, David can be an extremely difficult player for opposition defenders to play against.
‘In addition to his goalscoring prowess David’s link-up play is also of a high standard and he is capable of controlling the ball very well given his excellent technique.
‘David is also willing to contribute defensively, which makes him popular with any coach he plays under.
