Felix is back in the England setup, he’s in the Under 19 Squad for the Elite Qualifiers. Will be interesting if Lukas makes a permanent switch as these two games are friendlies so doesn’t have to complete a one time switch so will still be available for England.

I forgot about that re Felix. I find it kind of weird that youth players can just swap around at the youth level. I can see Lukas making the switch simply considering the options in front of him. England already have alot of young forwards, and Germany don't have too many at the quality of the English counter parts.
 
If the lad isn’t starting for Preston ( no disrespect) he is highly unlikely to start a game for us in the future. I think he could be one of the many that don’t make the top grade unfortunately

Was going to say the same. He seems to have dropped of the radar at PNE, was playing in our first team last year!

Yeah, there are quite a few in under 15’ and under 16’s flip flop all the time between Nations, funnily enough quite a few between England and Germany and off course the other Home Nations.

Actually I may be wrong from what I previously wrote as I read somewhere that the DFB are applying for a one time switch so if that’s the case then Lukas Nmecha will be permanently tied to Germany regardless of the games being friendlies.
 
Reading the Preston forum, it looks like he’s finally getting the hang of it to where they’re talking of wanting him bought . Glad to see he’s now doing a lot more defensive duties as well and being used for his play style.

Could see bundesliga coming for him in the summer. Doubt he will part of peps plans next season at least. Hope it would be a Chelsea style bundesliga loan. However with what’s his name signing for schalke for a few million he’s gotta he worth way more!
 
Has the build of a central defender.

Assuming that as a forward he is good with ball at feet, I wonder whether he could be tried in defence in U23 games
 
Alex Neil wants to resign him on loan for another season, and the club think he'd like to return.

It took him a long time, as it often does, to adjust to senior football. His game was over complicated, too many flicks and step overs etc. He needed to simplify his game and he has done. He's had a handful of games this season when he's totally bullied opposition defences. He's now starting to add goals and assists. There was also some talk that it took him a while to settle into a different dressing room and culture, but he is now settled in and well liked by the other players.

He's now consistently playing well for us, either on the right or up top, and I think it would benefit him to have another season with us at Championship level. He's still very young and I think after putting in the hard work to develop him this season, the club would like to reap the benefits of that by having him for another season.

Awesome,i have heard exactly the same in regards his development.I hope the deal happens,it would definitely be of mutual benefit.
 
After a tough start to his time on loan,the kid has proved that he is made of the right stuff.Ultimately the PNE fans want him back next season which is as huge a compliment to his efforts the lad can get......Well done Lucas!

Glad to see that he's like by PNE fans and nothing against them, but I'm not a fan of people returning for a year at the same club or level. Wonder if we could farm him out to a German club.

Going back to a loan club is essentially a backwards step. If one of the lower PL teams don't want him, then he should be looking for a Championship side who are looking to get promoted.

Agree that returning would be a retrograde decision, but I don't think he's done enough to warrant a move to the lower end of the PL or top end of the Championship. Whilst those Twitter comments are nice, I recently read the thread on him in the PNE forum, and for them he evidently has much work to do. Maybe the Bundesliga or possibly even Twente (Ünal did well there).
 
The word is now that he won't be coming back, despite our manager being open to it. Sounds like it's been decided that he'll spend next season somewhere else. Our local paper say there's interest from clubs in Germany and Scotland (surely could only be to an old firm team if he goes up there).
 
I think another year at Preston would be a good option. Lukas got 38 appearances last season although quite a few as a sub. He would likely start most games for PNE next season and be playing at a decent level. Better option than Scotland or bench warming in Germany. How much say do players get in where they go on loan?
 
Season loan to Wolfsburg apparently.

Fantastic opportunity for the kid.I'm still undecided at his quality,this move will definitely help with that.

It’s certainly a step up from North End and I hope Lucas has a very successful season there.

And it would be great if he comes back and does as well as the last two former Wolfsburg players at City.
