Jordan Zacharie Lukaku Menama Mokelenge (born 25 July 1994) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for TFF First League team Adanaspor.
Starting his professional career at Anderlecht, he made nine appearances for the first team, before joining Oostende in 2013, where he became a regular player.
[4] Having previously trained with the first team in the 2010–11 season,[5] along with his brother (who then left the club for Chelsea at the time), Lukaku was first included in a senior matchday squad on 1 December 2011, remaining an unused substitute in Anderlecht's 2–1 win at AEK Athens in the group stage of that season's UEFA Europa League.
[7] He totalled six appearances as his team won the league that season, but did not play at all as they retained the title the following campaign, only making the bench twice.
[9] On 21 July 2013, Lukaku came on as an 87th-minute substitute for Matías Suárez as Anderlecht won the 2013 Belgian Super Cup 1–0 against Genk at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.
[11] Soon after playing in the Belgian Super Cup, Lukaku left Anderlecht to join Oostende on loan until the end of the season.
[18] Lukaku continued to be in a regular in the first team at Oostende despite being absence on two occasions,[19][20] including his sending off against Gent on 25 January 2015.
[37] On 23 December that year, he scored his first goal for the club, finishing from a Ciro Immobile pass to open a 4–0 home win over Crotone.
[42] On 26 August 2022, free agent Lukaku signed a contract with Spanish Segunda División side SD Ponferradina.
[49] In his next game on the following 29 March, he replaced Guillaume Gillet in the 59th minute of a friendly away to Portugal in Leiria, and sent in the cross that was headed in by his brother as consolation in a 2–1 loss.
He made one appearance in the tournament, playing 75 minutes in place of the injured Jan Vertonghen in Belgium's 3–1 quarterfinal defeat to Wales.
He is particularly well known for his outstanding pace, as well as his technique, crossing ability, physical strength, and stamina, which enables him to cover the flank effectively, get forward, exploit spaces, take on opponents, retain possession, and create chances for his teammates.
He has drawn criticism at times from pundits over his tactical sense and the defensive aspect of this game, which have been cited as areas which have room for improvement.
