On 4 November 2018, under caretaker manager Tiago Fernandes, Luís made his first-team and Primeira Liga debut for the last seconds of a 2–1 win away to C.D. Santa Clara.[2] Four days later, he made a first start and European bow in a goalless draw away to Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League group stage;[3] on 13 December in the same competition he scored a first goal in a 3–0 win over FC Vorskla of Ukraine at the Estádio José Alvalade.[4]

Luís scored his first goal in Portugal's top flight on 3 January 2019, in a 2–1 home win over Belenenses SAD.[5]

A Portugal international from under-15 level onwards, Luís was part of the under-17 team that won the 2016 UEFA European Championship in Azerbaijan; he scored 5–0 wins over the hosts in the opening game and Austria in the quarter-finals.[6][7]

At under-19 level, Luís was a European runner-up in 2017 and champion in 2018, netting twice in the group stage in the latter competition in Finland.[8][9]
