Lucas Stassin says it was a Benfica player who convinced him to sign for Sevilla

Lucas Stassin, a Belgian striker belonging to Saint-Étienne, revealed that it was Dodi Lukebakio, his compatriot and Benfica player, who convinced him to accept the Sevilla challenge. The striker arrived at the Spanish club on loan, after having been associated with Benfica during the transfer market. Stassin confirmed that he spoke with Lukebakio before making the decision, citing the words of the Benfica winger: "It is a good club for you and I am sure you will improve and score goals." Lukebakio's opinion carried special relevance in the process, given that the player knows Sevilla well from having represented the Spanish club before being signed by Benfica in the last transfer market.
