Lucas Høgsberg (born 23 June 2006) is a Danish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Danish Superliga club FC Nordsjælland and the Denmark national team.
Club career
Nordsjælland
Lucas Høgsberg is a product of FC Nordsjælland, where started playing at the age of three, and played his way up through the club's youth ranks.[1] In February 2023, 16-year-old Høgsberg was selected for Nordsjælland's training camp in Turkey.[2]
On 5 April 2022, 16-year old Høgsberg got his official debut for Nordsjælland against Aarhus Fremad in the Danish Cup.[3][4] On 22 May 2023, Høgsberg also got his Danish Superliga debut when he came off the bench for the final minutes against Randers FC in the Danish Superliga.[5] Just a few days earlier, 16-year-old Høgsberg had just been permanently promoted to the first team squad.[6]
On 13 August 2024, Høgsberg extended his contract until June 2028.[7] On 16 September 2024, in a match against Randers FC, 18-year-old Høgsberg recorded his first assist at senior level when he set up Jeppe Tverskov's 1-1 score.[8]
After an autumn in the 2024-25 season where Høgsberg had become a starter for Nordsjælland, in late January 2025 there were rumors of strong interest from Italian Serie A club Como 1907, who had reportedly offered 10 million euros for the Dane, which was rejected by Nordsjælland.[9]
International career
In March 2025, 18-year-old Høgsberg was called up for the Danish national team for the first time for the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League A quarterfinals against Portugal.[10]
