Dodi Lukebakio is a Belgian-born winger who currently plays for Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga. He made his senior debut with Anderlecht in 2015 and has since played for Wolfsburg, Rennes, Nice, Saint Etienne and Hoffenheim.

His speed and technical ability make him an exciting prospect for any team he joins next season and he will be looking to continue his good form this year with Hertha BSC Dodi Lukebakio is a Belgian footballer who currently plays for Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga.

He has also played for Belgium U21 and DR Congo. Dodi began his career at Anderlecht, where he made over 100 appearances and scored 17 goals between 2015-2018. 

In January 2019, he moved to Watford on loan but returned to Hertha shortly after. Dodi's international career started with Belgium U21s in 2016 and continued until 2020 when he was called up to the senior team for a friendly against Hungary.

He did not make an appearance though due to an injury sustained during training just before the game happened. Despite being injured, Dodi is still eligible for selection by DR Congo national team as they are not part of FIFA or UEFA yet (they joined in February 2022). 

However, there is no confirmation that he will be called up any time soon given their poor form recently including going out of both World Cup qualification rounds early this year.

Dodi Lukebakio's style of play revolves around dribbling past defenders and creating chances through passing; although often criticised for his inconsistency, many attribute this partly to him having been forced into starting roles too quickly at different clubs throughout his career.
