In the 20th round of the Premier League, Leicester City beat Liverpool 1-0. Looking back at the game, Lukeman, who joined on loan in the summer window, played the role of a surprise soldier, and he scored the only winning goal for Leicester City as a substitute. It is worth mentioning that Lukeman also scored goals in the Premier League match against Manchester City in the last round. Such an outstanding performance made fans sigh: leicester city will choose people to use, and actually activate the Bundesliga waste wood.
It all started three years ago. Due to his mediocre performance at Everton, Lukeman was loaned to Bundesliga upstart Red Bull Leipzig. There is a way in which people move to live and trees to die. Lukeman, who moved to RB Leipzig, performed extremely well, scoring five goals and three assists in 11 appearances. Logically, Lukeman's play is so powerful, Everton should focus on cultivating him at the end of the lease term, right? Who would have thought that Everton management was still not prepared to reuse Lukeman.
Seeing this, Red Bull Leipzig threw an olive branch. After negotiations between the two clubs, Red Bull Leipzig eventually signed Luckmann for 18 million euros. With the official announcement of the transaction, many Premier League fans feel that Everton management is tossing and turning again. After all, Lukeman's excellent performance in the Bundesliga is obvious to all, and he is also an English youth player, and he actually sold it so cheaply! The account alone is more than this money!
It didn't take long for the fans' evaluations to reverse. For the simple reason, Lukeman's performance was disastrous. As Bundesliga opponents explored his technical characteristics, the British wings were severely limited. Not only is it impossible to continue to rely on the advantages of speed and technology to break the opponent's side, but it also exposes technical shortcomings such as insufficient ball quotient and poor passing vision. Because of this, Lukeman was named one of the worst bundesliga signings of the season. Even Nagelsmann, then red Bull Leipzig manager, was reluctant to give him a chance.
Red Bull Leipzig management, who had lost patience, also intended to sell Lukeman. According to the well-known journalist Falk, Red Bull Leipzig is priced at 18 million euros, which is equivalent to the original price of sale. It's just a pity that such a sincere price is difficult to find a buyer. As a result, the club had to try to rent out. After negotiations, Lukeman joined Premier League Fulham on loan. Not to mention, he has performed well when he returns to the Premier League. According to statistics, Lukeman scored four goals and four assists in 35 appearances. Considering Fulham's overall strength, this figure is quite outstanding. Because of this, Leicester City set their sights on Lukeman, whose lease expired.
Coincidentally, Red Bull Leipzig had no intention of retaining Lukeman. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leicester City successfully rented Lukeman. Carefully trained by coach Rogers, he became Leicester City's winger. Take the Premier League game against Liverpool, where Lukeman came on as a substitute in the 55th minute. Just four minutes later, he managed to break through Liverpool centre-back Mattip to score a goal to give Leicester a lead. In the end, Leicester City relied on this goal to win 1-0 over Liverpool. For Lukman, who came from Everton's academy, the goal was clearly significant.
It is worth mentioning that Lukeman also scored goals in the last round of premier league matches against Manchester City. Although Leicester City eventually suffered a rout, Lukeman's performance was remarkable. Because of this, Premier League fans have lamented that Leicester City's scouting system is so powerful that even Lukeman, who has become a Bundesliga waste, can see and turn waste into treasure.
