Lucas Anderson, who struggled to find a club after leaving Queens Park Rangers, says he is not done with his playing career.
The 31-year-old has been relayed by tip sheetAddressing his current situation following his exit from QPR.
At the end of the 2024/25 season, QPR released the Dane and he is yet to find a new club.
The attacking midfielder graduated from AAB Fodbold, spending a year with their first team before leaving them for Ajax in 2012.
He returned to the Danish club in 2019, and left them for the Championship side in February 2024.
Without a club since leaving QPR
Anderson played 2,126 minutes in 51 matches in all competitions for the London club, scoring three goals and providing four assists. He made 12 starts in the Championship in the second half of the 2023/24 season.
However, the Dane operated mainly as a substitute last season, starting in 13 of 33 league matches.
Given that he does not have a club, he has been training with AAB. Three months earlier, the Danish club's sporting director, John Møller, had stated that there were no plans for the player to return. The official also said that his desire is to join a club away from Denmark.
Anderson has yet to find a new club since leaving QPR and this has led to questions whether he has finished his playing career. Although he is not comfortable answering these, but now he has sent a clear message.
“Even though time is going on, I'm still staying true to myself in terms of trying to find the right football project.” He said.
"The love of sport, which has been a part of my life since I was three years old, is really important to me. Not just playing and being a football player. I want to be able to do something and experience a thrill through the lens of football.
"I have a lot of time to think right now. And sometimes it's hard to deal with all the constant questions. You've been out long? Do people think I'm finished? What are you going to do now?"
“Not being able to do a lot because you're worried that people will 'retire' you in their minds, although I'm still very keen to continue my football career.
The decision to reject the proposals backfired
In October, Sport Witness reported news from Denmark that it had rejected offers from Saudi Arabia and Olympiacos Nicosia.
A month later, the former QPR man said he accepted the consequences of not accepting offers from these clubs.
