In the video, David said: "Every story has a beginning and an end. I want to tell you personally that after playing for the club for many years, it is time to say goodbye to you."

"I spent five wonderful seasons at Lille. Although it was not without difficulties, I hope that my goals and celebrations brought you some happiness. Especially the Ligue 1 title and the French Super Cup, I believe they brought us infinite joy and satisfaction."

"Thank you to all my teammates, the coaching staff, the staff, the medical and technical team, the club hierarchy and everyone I have played with and shared time with over the years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have given me over the years."

"Finally, I want to thank the fans from the bottom of my heart. I know I didn't get off to the best start, but you were always there for me. You always supported me when things got tough, and I will always remember that and be grateful for all the good times we had together. It was because of your support and motivation for the team and me that we were able to have some memorable seasons. Thank you."
