Lucas Lima will be hoping to play for one of Europe’s premier clubs next season

A full Brazil international and one of the most gifted playmakers in the world, Lucas Lima has been taking the Brasileirao by storm with his amazing performances for Santos since 2014. It is probably surprising that Lucas Lima is not already playing in Europe, despite regularly being one of the top performers in Brazil.

The left-footed number 10 is also capable of dropping back and help his team out in defence. The talented Brazilian has a dynamic style and his through balls, free-kicks and crosses have created plenty of goal scoring opportunities for the Santos and Brazil national team forwards.

Lucas got a number of big money offers from Porto and teams in the Chinese Super League, but he is holding out hoping for an offer from some of Europe’s top clubs. Tottenham, AC Milan and Chelsea are said to be interested in him and the Brazilian definitely has the talent to cut it at one of the top sides.
