Club career

Fluminense

Born in Fortaleza, Ceará, Evanilson joined Fluminense's youth setup in 2013, from local side Associação Esportiva Estação Antônio Bezerra.[1] He made his first team debut on 17 January 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Dudu in a 3–1 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Boavista; he also committed a penalty in that match.[2]

Loan to Šamorín

On 23 January 2018, Evanilson was loaned to FC ŠTK 1914 Šamorín in Slovakia, for six months.[3] At the time, the club was Fluminense's farm team.

Evanilson made his debut abroad on 14 April 2018, replacing Roman Sabler in a 1–0 home win against Partizán Bardejov. He scored his first senior goal fourteen days later, netting the opener in a 2–0 away success over FK Spišská Nová Ves, and returned to Flu in May after contributing with three goals in six appearances.[4]

Breakthrough

Upon returning to Fluminense, Evanilson was assigned back at the under-20 squad. In September 2019, after being the top goalscorer of the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 with 11 goals, he was promoted to the main squad.[5]

Evanilson made his Série A debut on 7 November 2019, replacing fellow youth graduate Marcos Paulo in a 2–0 away win against São Paulo.[6] On 8 December, in his first start for the club, he scored a brace in a 2–1 away defeat of Corinthians.[7]

On 13 December 2019, Evanilson signed a pre-contract with Tombense, effective as of February.[8] The following 15 January, Fluminense announced he would remain at the club on loan until December 2021.[9]

Evanilson became a regular starter for Flu in the 2020 campaign, partnering with Marcos Paulo up front.[10] On 7 September 2020, Fluminense announced the transfer of Evanilson to an unnamed Portuguese club; Flu retained 30% of the fee which should be paid to Tombense, plus a 6% profit on a future sale.[11]

Porto

On 7 September 2020, Brazilian media revealed that the club which Evanilson was joining was FC Porto.[12]
