Petru Leucă (born 19 July 1990) is a Moldovan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Zimbru Chișinău.^[2]^[3]

Career

One of Moldova's top young prospects, Leuca was a leading figure in the Moldovan top-flight, the Divizia Nationala, for the first six years of his career, before being signed overseas. He ventured abroad playing in various countries including Lithuania, Greece and India, however, his stay at these clubs were short-lived due to the coronavirus pandemic, which cut short their league campaigns.

A notable marquee signing in both Kuwait and Oman, Leuca subsequently attracted interest from Asian clubs including Chonburi and Persebaya, before starring for Nagaworld in Cambodia, scoring eight times.

International career

After featuring for Moldova at all age-group levels, he made his debut for the Moldova senior national team on 14 February 2015 in a friendly vs Romania in Aksu, Kazakhstan.^[4] He has been called up to the senior side a total of 12 times against opposition including Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Azerbaijan and Albania, however, his debut against Romania remains his only appearance.^[5]
