Raised in Fortaleza, Evanilson developed an early love for football, heavily influenced by his father’s engagement with the local football community.

Career

Francisco Evanilson de Lima Barbosa, better known as Evanilson, joined Fluminense’s youth academy in 2013 and launched his professional football career with them in Brazil.

He made his senior debut on January 17, 2018, in a Campeonato Carioca match against Boavista. To gain experience, he was loaned to Slovakian side Šamorín for the 2017–18 season, where he impressed with three goals in six appearances.

Upon returning to Fluminense, he became a standout in the under-20 team, finishing as the top scorer in the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 with 11 goals. His strong performances earned him a promotion to the senior squad, where he debuted in Brazil’s Série A on November 7, 2019, and netted a memorable brace against Corinthians a month later.

In 2020, Evanilson signed with Tombense but was immediately loaned back to Fluminense. He significantly impacted during his loan, scoring 11 goals in 27 matches and establishing himself as a key player.

Evanilson’s European breakthrough came in September 2020 when he signed a five-year deal with FC Porto for €8.8 million. Initially rotating between the first team and Porto B, he scored six goals in just five LigaPro games. His breakout season came in 2021–22, when he netted 21 goals in 46 appearances.

Highlights included a hat-trick against B SAD and a stunning backheel finish against Marítimo, which earned him the Primeira Liga Goal of the Month. During his time at Porto, he lifted five major trophies: the Primeira Liga (2021–22), two Taças de Portugal (2021–22, 2022–23), one Taça da Liga (2022–23), and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (2022).

Among his most notable performances were a hat-trick in a 4–1 UEFA Champions League win over Royal Antwerp in October 2023 and another in a 4–0 Taça de Portugal victory against Estoril in January 2024. By the time he left Porto, he had tallied 60 goals in 154 appearances.

On August 16, 2024, Evanilson joined AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League for a club-record £40.2 million (£31.7 million upfront plus £8.5 million in add-ons). Donning the number 9 shirt, he scored his first goal for the Cherries in a 3–1 win over Southampton on September 30, 2024. He quickly made headlines with a decisive goal in Bournemouth’s 2–1 upset over Manchester City on November 2, 2024, ending City’s 32-game unbeaten league run. As of the 2024–25 season, he has recorded 9 goals in 23 league appearances, despite being sidelined by a broken foot in January 2025.

Internationally, Evanilson represented Brazil at the under-23 level in 2020, earning two caps. His continued growth earned him a senior call-up in May 2024 for the Copa América, and he made his debut in a friendly against Mexico on June 8, 2024.

Across his professional career, Evanilson has played in 202 matches, scored 81 goals, and delivered 15 assists. Known for his versatility, clinical finishing, and tireless work ethic, he is emerging as one of the most promising strikers in European football.
