Portland's bronze-tier squad player is quietly building his body of work. Now in his third year since arriving from Arouca, the Brazilian is proving to be a versatile asset. He might still be waiting for his first piece of career silverware, but his current trajectory is impossible to ignore.

With just 342 minutes under his belt across four appearances, sample sizes remain emerging, but our verdict on his impact is highly positive. He is making every single second count on the pitch. His output is on a sharp upward trajectory, backed by a return of one goal and one assist that showcases his growing confidence. He operates as a certified THREAT going forward, keeping defenders constantly on their toes, while also putting in the necessary defensive work to earn a silver INTERCEPTOR badge. A standout Shooting dimension tells the story of a player who doesn't need many invitations to test the keeper. He is hitting top form precisely when the rotation demands a player capable of stepping up without missing a beat.

Valued at €5M with a stable market trajectory, his hot streak is elevating his profile. Squad rotation can dictate a team's ceiling over a grueling campaign, and having a reliable depth option producing genuine end product makes him a vital piece of the puzzle.
