About
Lukas Nmecha is a German forward who now leads the line for Leeds United. Born in Hamburg to a German mother and Nigerian father, he moved to England as a child and came through Manchester City’s academy, making his senior debut for Pep Guardiola’s side in a 2017 League Cup tie before loan stints at Preston North End, Middlesbrough and Anderlecht, where he scored 21 goals in a single campaign. A permanent transfer to VfL Wolfsburg followed in 2021, the same year he earned his first senior Germany cap after captaining the country’s under-21s to a European Championship title.
