While it never quite reached the collective psychosis of Kaku watch, the latest New York Red Bulls transfer saga has finally come to a close.
25-year-old Brazilian winger Lucas Lima Linhares — better known as Luquinhas — has officially been signed by the Red Bulls from Polish first division side Legia Warsaw after weeks of speculation. Jeff Carlisle of ESPN reported the deal’s completion this morning before a press release from the club came shortly after.
An attack-minded wide player originally from the national capital of Brasilia, Luquinhas spent several years in the Portuguese lower leagues (including a stint in the reserves at Lisbon giants Benfica) before joining Legia in 2019.
