Best Canadian soccer players right now
Alphonso Davies
Alphonso Davies is one of the best Canadian soccer players abroad. In the past few seasons, he’s been rock solid for Bayern Munich.
Davies’ pattern and style of play have enabled him to cement a place in the starting lineup at Bayern Munich. With the Canadian Men’s National Team, Davies has been critical since his debut in 2017.
Davies sometimes plays as a winger, left-back, or even as a forward in some cases.
Jonathan David
Jonathan David is one of the fastest-growing Canadian soccer players in Europe. He plays forward; He was part of Lille’s team that edged Paris Saint-Germain to the French Ligue 1 title in the 2020/2021 season.
David this season is more of an improved striker who’s been consistent and has scored double figures already, contributing to Lille’s Champions League progression to the knockout stages.
The stats do speak well of him. His consistency has been the only key to blistering form for Lille in the French football top division.
Cyle Larin
Cyle Larin is one of the best players at Beşiktaş. Larin is a forward who knows how and when to hit the target.
Jonathan Osorio
Rightly said, Jonathan Osorio is one of the biggest stars of modern Canadian soccer.
