The 22-year-old did not score at the World Cup before Canada’s exit but insists he has improved as a player despite his nation crashing out following three defeats. 

David said: “The Premier League is the best league in the world and every player would want to play there some day. 

“I have been focused on trying to enjoy the World Cup and enjoy the moment. 

“What happens now I do not know, we will see.”

The Maple Leafs only scored two goals in Qatar - one own goal - but won a legion of new fans with their fearless style. 

They will host the 2026 tournament along with the United States and Mexico. 

After losing 2-1 to Morocco on Thursday, David added: “Any player who plays at the World Cup, no matter what the outcome, you become a better player, you learn from it, and it helps you grow,”

“The future is bright, despite the three losses.
