Élson debuted in the 2008–09 season for VfB Stuttgart on 26 October 2008 against VfL Bochum at home. He came off the bench in the 56th minute for Ricardo Osorio, and ended up assisting Mario Gómez's second goal of the game, assuring their home win.

On 10 April 2009, Élson extended his contract at VfB Stuttgart until the summer of 2011.[1]

On 1 February 2010, he left VfB Stuttgart and signed a half year loan deal with Hannover 96.[2] He played in the second half of the 2009–10 season in seven games for Hannover 96 and scored one goal before returning to VfB Stuttgart on 30 June 2010.
