Jeison Steven Lucumí Mina (born 8 April 1995) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays for Colombian club Deportes Tolima as a right winger.

Club career

Born in Cali, Lucumí started his career at hometown side Dépor FC, and made his first team debut on 2 August 2012, playing the last seven minutes of a 1–2 Categoría Primera B home loss against Atlético Bucaramanga. His first goal for the club came on 10 March of the following year, as he scored the winner in a 2–1 home success over Jaguares de Córdoba.

Ahead of the 2014 campaign, Lucumí moved to América de Cali, also in the second division.[1] He helped the club achieve promotion to Categoría Primera A in 2016, being a regular starter, and made his debut in the top tier on 4 February 2017 by starting in a 0–0 home draw against Rionegro Águilas.[2]

Lucumí scored his first goal in the Colombian first division on 19 February 2017, netting his team's second in a 3–0 away win against La Equidad.[3] On 25 July of that year, after already scoring six goals for América, he agreed to a three-year contract with Atlético Nacional, for a fee of US$1.8 million; América also retained 30% of a future sale.[4] On 14 October 2018, during a league match against Deportivo Cali, Lucumi was involved in a dispute with teammate Dayro Moreno, and was sent off after headbutting him. As a result, he was handed a three-match suspension, and a 400,000 COP fine (100 USD) fine by DIMAYOR. In addition, he received an eight day suspension from the club itself.[5][6]

In June 2019, Lucumí moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Liga MX side Tigres UANL; Jarlan Barrera moved in the opposite direction.[7] On 10 July, however, he was announced at fellow league team Querétaro.[8]

On 15 September 2020, Lucumí joined La Liga newcomers Elche, reuniting with his former manager at Atlético Nacional, Jorge Almirón.[9] On 1 February 2021, after just two league matches, he terminated his contract.[10]

On 18 February 2021, Lucumí returned to Colombia and signed with América de Cali.[11][12] A year later, in January 2022, Lucumí moved to Deportes Tolima.[13]
