After a steady start to life in north London following his arrival from Swedish side Djurgarden on 1 July, the 19-year-old has since developed into a standout performer during the second half of the season with his talent, tenacity and boundless energy in midfield really shining through.
Since his debut at Leicester City in our opening game of the 2024/25 season, the Sweden international, who was rewarded with a new deal last month, has gone on to make 45 appearances in all competitions to date and opened his account with the match-winner in a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January.
With 11 starts in his 34 Premier League appearances, our number 15's most prominent role has come on our run to the UEFA Europa League Final where we now face Manchester United in Bilbao on 21 May. In his first taste of European competition, Lucas started 10 out of 12 fixtures and in each knockout round until an ankle injury ruled him out of the semi-finals against Bodø/Glimt.
