Castello Lukeba Scout Report

Castello Lukeba's emergence at RB Leipzig during the 2024-2025 Bundesliga season reinforces why he's considered one of France's budding defensive talents at just 22. Primarily patrolling the defensive third, Lukeba's adeptness at progressive carrying stands out, signalling a comfort in driving play forward, a trait seldom seen with such an edge in centre-backs. His involvement in possession is noteworthy, operating with poise that sees him amass a significant number of touches. While his pass accuracy spurs reliability, it's his commanding duel win percentage that truly anchors Leipzig's backline—he's tough to circumvent in one-on-one encounters. However, for all his prowess on the ground, Lukeba's aerial presence could improve; he's not as dominant in the air, something that may provide opposition with a route to exploit. Interceptions fall below par, suggesting room for growth in reading the game, especially when considering his conservative foul record, which indicates discipline. All told, Lukeba's blend of skill, maturity, and potential marks him as an exciting prospect whose style of play aligns seamlessly with Leipzig’s dynamic ethos.
