Club career

Santos

Born in Brasília, Federal District, Ângelo joined Santos' youth setup in 2015, aged ten. In July 2020, aged only 15, he started to appear for the under-20s,[1] being subsequently promoted to the main squad in October by manager Cuca.[2]

On 23 October 2020, Ângelo agreed to a professional pre-contract deal with Peixe, effective as of his 16th birthday.[3] He made his professional debut two days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Lucas Braga in a 3–1 away loss against Fluminense for the Série A championship;[4] aged 15 years, 10 months and 4 days, he became the second-youngest ever player to debut for the club, only behind Coutinho, and overcame Pelé by 11 days.[5]

International career

Ângelo represented Brazil under-15s in 2019,[6] scoring in a 4–0 defeat of Uruguay on 27 September[7] and taking part of the 2019 South American U-15 Championship in November.[8]

On 6 March 2020, Ângelo was called up with the under-16s for the year's Montaigu Tournament,[9] but the competition was later suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In October, he was called up to the under-17s for trainings in the following month,[10] but tested positive for COVID-19 during that period.[11]
