Lucas Frédéric Stassin (born 29 November 2004) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Belgian Pro League club Westerlo.[1]

Career

Stassin played at Stade Brainois initially as a youngster,[2] before he joined the academy at Anderlecht in 2014 at nine years-old. After working through the age group sides he signed a three-year professional contract with Anderlecht in June 2021, tying him to the club until 2024.[3]

From the start of the 2022–23 Challenger Pro League season Stassin scored 11 goals in 16 games for RSCA Futures.[4][5] This form earned him a call up to the Anderlecht first team, and he made his Anderlecht senior debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League, where he appeared as a second half substitute, against West Ham United.[6] He then made his debut in the Belgian Pro League against Club Brugge in October 2022.[7]

On 27 July 2023, Belgium Pro League side Westerlo announced the signing of Stassin on a four-year contract,[8] for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[9]

International career

Stassin earned three caps with the Belgium national under-18 football team.[10] In March 2023 he was called up to the Belgium U19s for the first time.[11]

Personal life

He is the son of former professional footballer Stéphane Stassin.[12][13]
