Jonathan David makes a strong start at Atletico Madrid

Jonathan David has started his time at Atletico Madrid in great goalscoring form.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 3 October 2026

Jonathan David moved to Atletico Madrid on loan from Juventus before the transfer window closed. His time in Italy was difficult with only eight goals in forty six matches. Diego Simeone brought him in to strengthen the attack and the move is already paying off.

Instant impact in Spain

The striker has scored in all three of his LaLiga appearances for his new club. He also scored the winning goal in the Madrid derby. Punters who backed him to find his scoring boots quickly in Spain are already collecting their winnings.

Betting market reaction

His impressive start makes him much shorter in the top scorer markets. Bookmakers have slashed his odds for the Golden Boot. Bettors looking for value might need to move fast before his price drops further.

Strong support from teammates

David credits his new teammates for making his job easy by creating chances. Playing under Diego Simeone also suits his hard working style. International coach Jesse Marsch recommended him to the club before the deal happened.
