Lucas Gabriel Vera (born 18 April 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Russian club Orenburg.[1]

Career

Vera started his career with Lanús.[1][2] He was moved into the club's first-team in September 2017, with manager Jorge Almirón selecting him to start in a home defeat to Boca Juniors; he was substituted off on fifty-five minutes for Lautaro Acosta.[1] He played a part in three further fixtures in the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División campaign.[1] On 23 August 2018, a month after featuring in the Copa Sudamericana for Lanús versus Atlético Junior, Vera was loaned by Primera B Metropolitana club All Boys.[1][3][4]
