Bang on great post.Hmm not sure about that. My opinion is Conte knows well what Lucas offers at RWF and so is using preseason to try him in alternative positions to see how he fares. Lucas is unlikely to be first choice as RWF, but if he offers versatility across multiple positions then he can be a very valuable option from the bench or in rotation for cup games.
Lucas is going to need that versatility to get enough minutes, especially if we're looking at bringing in Zaniolo to compete for attacking positions. Lucas can become our James Milner, he'll work hard for the team whichever position he plays.
