Lucas Frédéric Stassin (born 29 November 2004) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne.[1]

Stassin played at Stade Brainois initially as a youngster,[2] before he joined the academy at Anderlecht in 2014 at nine years-old. After working through the age group sides he signed a three-year professional contract with Anderlecht in June 2021, tying him to the club until 2024.[3]

From the start of the 2022–23 Challenger Pro League season Stassin scored 11 goals in 16 games for RSCA Futures.[4][5] This form earned him a call up to the Anderlecht first team, and he made his Anderlecht senior debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League, where he appeared as a second half substitute, against West Ham United.[6][7] He then made his debut in the Belgian Pro League against Club Brugge in October 2022.[8]

On 27 July 2023, Belgian Pro League side Westerlo announced the signing of Stassin on a four-year contract,[9] for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[10]

On 30 August 2024, Stassin joined Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne for a fee of €9 million, signing a four-year contract with an option for a fifth year.[11][12]

International career

Stassin earned three caps with the Belgium national under-18 football team.[13] In March 2023 he was called up to the Belgium U19s for the first time.[14]
