Career[]

Before Fulham[]

Fulham (2013-2020)[]

Luca initially joined up with the club in summer 2013 to train along with a teammate back home, Anthony Wright. He was ultimately chosen to play for the U16 squad after he immediately impressed Mark Pembridge and the other coaches. After a successful season with the U16's, Luca signed his scholarship on 1 July 2014 and joined up with the U18 squad. He produced a dazzling display in the first league match of the season which saw him given a spot on the bench in the U21 squad the following week, still only 16 years old.

He scored his first goal for the U18 squad in a 3-0 away win against Arsenal U18 in December 2014.

Luca made his first team debut at the beginning of 2016-17 when he started in a 3-2 victory away at Leyton Orient in the first round of the League Cup.

After only making a handful appearances for the first team, Luca decided to leave the club at the end of his contract in the summer of 2020.

After Fulham[]

Luca signed for Dutch side Heracles on 6 August 2020 on a free transfer. After two seasons with them, he made the move to Spain to sign for Celta Vigo in La Liga.
