Lucas Frédéric Stassin (French pronunciation: [ly.ka sta.sɛ̃]; born 29 November 2004) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a striker for La Liga club Sevilla, on loan from Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne, and the Belgium national team.

Club career

Anderlecht

Stassin played at Stade Brainois initially as a youngster, 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.

From the start of the 2022–23 Challenger Pro League season Stassin scored 11 goals in 16 games for RSCA Futures. 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. He then made his debut in the Belgian Pro League against Club Brugge in October 2022.

Westerlo

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

On 30 August 2024, Stassin joined Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne for a fee of €9 million, signing a four-year contract with an option for a fifth year. He reached double-figures for goals in Ligue 1 in his debut season, including both goals in a man-of-the-match performance in a 2-1 league win in the Rhône-Alpes derby against Olympique Lyonnais on 20 April 2025.

Loan to Sevilla

On 1 September 2026, Stassin renewed his contract with Saint-Étienne until 2029, and was loaned to La Liga side Sevilla for one year. Stassin had a goal-scoring debut against Espanyol in a 1–1 league draw on 6 September.

International career

Stassin earned three caps with the Belgium national under-18 football team. In March 2026, he was called up to the Belgium U19s for the first time. That month, he received his first call-up to the senior Belgium national football team. He made his debut on 1 April 2026 as a second-half substitute in a 1-1 draw against Mexico.

Personal life

He is the son of former professional footballer Stéphane Stassin.
