    Here's a video of him from about a month ago. Can't seem to find exactly what club he's with unless anyone recognizes the kit? Maybe still with Recife?

    Thanks for the update, @charles ordonho.

    For those interested, here's Charles with the (indoor) Dallas Sidekicks:

    And what seems to be his Twitter, which features some Lucas clips:

    Mr. Ordonho, anything else you'd like to tell us about your son? What kind of player he is, teams he's played for, whether he wants to play professional or attend college first, foreign passports, anything else? I certainly understand that as a 2001 birth year, he still has plenty of time. As for U.S. involvement, he's now in what I believe would be the U16 age group.

    Has he officially joined Sporting?

    He began playing Futsal , where he learned all the basics. Particularly I believe all soccer players should start their careers because they can develop quick thinking, short dribble and more skill , as always in contact with the ball , as are only 5 players on each side . But Going back to Lucas , he played in caruaru up to 12 years and then went to the Sport Club do Recife . Where he stayed until the end of May this year . We went to Portugal , where a scout of sporting called to U- 16 . not yet signed , but the training begins in August. Lucas really wants to play professional . Very Focused as athlete , it is not two days without training . Within the field is very smart, use the 2 legs as few of his age , good finisher , plays striker and sometimes attacking midfielder .

    Another highly rated player. Call him up, we waste so many YNT caps on bad players, call this kid up.

    Call him up. I'm nearly sure y'all read big soccer, go tell your U-16 coach about this kid. I've seen players in that '01 age group called up to big tournaments who don't look like they are fit to sit on the bench for their high school teams, call up a player who has reported interest from Milan and Sporting Lisbon.

    In the replies to this tweet, Joey said that Lucas is “very much” willing to represent the US.

    Signed a professional contract with Nautico last month:

    1082807435520299014 is not a valid tweet id


    Milan connection continues but this Nautico fan account does not seem too optimistic about it:



    Google Translate:
    I heard that he signed a professional contract recently, but giving you a personal opinion, do not put too much faith. This Milan story was a giant wagon. He has potential for evolution, especially age, but has a lot of boy better than him at base.

    But to heck with that I say, keep going for Milan!
