Before Chelsea
Lucas first came to Chelsea's attentions in the 2009 Manchester United Premier Cup tournament, where as a 15 year-old he was one of the stars of the competition. He stayed on the club's radar and they agreed a deal to sign him for a fee, which could rise up to £8m, in early 2011. [1]
Chelsea career
Lucas was scheduled to arrive upon his 18th birthday in January 2012, but an agreement between Chelsea and Sao Paulo saw him move to London in September 2011 to acclimatise. His international registration was transferred in November and he made his debut against Fulham Under-18s on November 12th 2012.
He was given the number 35 shirt by then first team boss Andre Villas-Boas and included on the substitutes bench for a handful of Premier League matches, and made the bench again on the last day of the season, but didn't make his first team bow during the 2011-12 season. Instead, he thrived for the Youth and Reserve teams and was one of the outstanding players in the 2011-12 FA Youth Cup, scoring twice en route to lifting the cup.
Lucas made his first team debut early in the 2012-13 season, starting and playing the full match in a League Cup 3rd round victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
International
Lucas has represented Brazil at Under-15 and Under-17 levels, featuring in the 2011 FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
