Lucas Chevalier (born 6 November 2001) is a French professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Lille.
Club career
Chevalier is a youth academy graduate of Lille.[2] He was third-choice goalkeeper of club behind Mike Maignan and Orestis Karnezis during their league title winning 2020–21 season. In July 2021, he joined Ligue 2 club Valenciennes on a season long loan deal.[3] He made his professional debut for the club on 18 September 2021 in a 1–1 draw against Pau.[4]
On 10 September 2022, Chevalier made his professional debut for his boyhood club with a strong performance against Marseille.[5] A few weeks later, on 9 October, he stopped a penalty kick and made decisive saves in Lille 1–0 home win over Derby du Nord rivals Lens. He was praised for his performance that earned him a rating of 8/10 in La Voix du Nord and a spot in L'Équipe's Team of the Week.[6][7] After the game, he told to Prime Video Sport pundit Thierry Henry that former Lille keeper Mike Maignan phoned him before the game to advise and encourage him.[8] In January 2023, Chevalier extended his contract with Lille until June 2027.[9]
International career
Chevalier is a former French youth international. He has appeared for under-16 and under-18 teams in friendlies.[10] In 2024, he was called up to the France Olympic football team for the Olympics football tournament in a preliminary list alongside his Lille teammates Bafodé Diakité and Leny Yoro.[11] However, the three players were eventually retained by their club due to the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round played in August before the start of the Ligue 1 season.[12]
