Lukas Spalvis (born 27 July 1994) is a Lithuanian professional footballer playing for Sporting CP.
Lukas Spalvis was born in Lithuania. When he was six, he emigrated with his mother from Lithuania and settled in Switzerland in Basel. While living in Basel, he went to a German school.
Youth until 2012
Spalvis joined in 2010 the SV Weil 1910 from Weil am Rhein, the German neighboring town of Basel. In 2011, he joined the youth (Fußballschule) of SC Freiburg.
Aalborg BK/ AaB
He joined the club as a youth player in 2012 and was promoted to the first team squad in the summer of 2013. He got his first match for AaB when he was in the line up in the DBU Pokalen game against Silkeborg IF on 29 August 2013. His first Danish Superliga appearance happened on 6 October 2013 when he was subbed in during the 74th minute against Viborg FF.
While playing for AaB, Spalvis has earned the nickname "Zweimal" meaning "twice" in German. He earned this nickname because he, for every match in which he scored a goal, always scored a second goal in the game as well. This streak held for 5 matches, until scoring just one goal against OB on 24 August 2015.
In the first half of the 2015-16 Danish Superliga Season, he had impressively scored 14 goals in 17 league matches, leading to transfer rumors about Spalvis moving to Galatasaray and Sporting Clube de Portugal.
On February 8, 2016, it was confirmed, that Spalvis will move to Sporting Clube de Portugal from July 1, 2016. He would therefore play in AaB to the end of the 2015-16 Danish Superliga-season.
