BIOGRAPHY
Playing for Nacional in the Primeira Liga, Lucas João continues to build on a solid professional career. A native of Luanda in Angola, he converted his natural talent into a professional career through hard work and dedication. His profile as a forward is enhanced by his dimensions — 193 cm tall and 80 kg — ideal for the professional game. His pace, movement and ability to find space make him a constant threat to opposing defences. The move from Sheffield Wednesday to Reading (£ 7M) in 2019 marked a pivotal moment in his professional development. His honours include Chinese Super League, achievements that reflect sustained excellence throughout his professional career. As 2025/2026 unfolds, he continues to deliver performances that justify his place in Nacional's squad. A player of character and quality, he stands out as one of the most compelling profiles in the Primeira Liga this season.
