00:00He is Paris FC's first signing this winter, but who is Luca Coleo Show?
00:03Born on September 15, 2004 in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA,
00:07He comes from a multicultural background.
00:09Indeed, he is American, Canadian, but also Italian.
00:12In the United States, he will discover football in local clubs
00:14before leaving with his family for Spain to Reus de Porte U.
00:18In 2020, he joined the training center of the Spanish RCD
00:21And it is there that he will refine his slender, straight profile.
00:23He's an explosive, technically gifted, and attack-minded player.
00:26and who, above all, is really comfortable with the ball at his feet.
00:28After two seasons in the youth ranks, he will make his professional debut in 2022.
00:32The following season, he will play in La Liga, he will score his first goal
00:35and he will quickly be transferred to Burnley in the summer of 2023.
00:38And so, under the orders of a certain Vincent Kompany, now coach of Bayern Munich,
00:41Coleo Show is about to experience the first league.
00:43And as the player begins to adapt to the Premier League in England,
00:46He will suffer a serious knee injury in 2023 and his season will be over.
00:49The club was relegated to the Championship, but he still managed to get back in the following season.
00:52to gradually regain some of those sensations,
00:55He will disappear from the plans of the coach and the club staff.
00:57In the summer of 2025, he will be loaned to Barcelona in Spain to revive his career.
01:01where it all began for him in the professional world.
01:03It's not going to work at all; he'll get virtually no playing time.
01:06And this winter, he will therefore return to Burnley.
01:08And so, in July 2026, Paris FC seized the opportunity.
01:11to go and get Coleo Show back and try to revive him in Ligue 1.
01:13At 21, Lucas will discover Ligue 1 with the status of Italian Youth International.
01:18On the international stage, Lucas Coleo Show played with the Italian Under-21 team.
01:21and won the European U19 Championship in 2023.
01:24And his transfer may raise a few questions.
01:26Because you have a striker who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, certainly,
01:29who is fast, who knows how to dribble, etc.
01:31But the question is, is he physically ready?
01:33And you should know that one of the big challenges for Paris FC this season is scoring goals.
01:36Indeed, the club has finishing problems,
01:38And it turns out that Lucas Coleo Show isn't the greatest finisher in the world.
01:41Now he is 21 years old, it is a loan with a purchase option which is not mandatory.
01:44In other words, if it succeeds, great for Paris FC, if it doesn't succeed.
01:48Well, it won't be a disaster for the capital club.
01:50But on the other hand, for Coleo Show, the future could look bleak.
