Deivid Washington de Souza Eugênio (born 5 June 2005), known as Deivid Washington or simply Deivid, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Chelsea.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Santos

[edit]

Born in Itumbiara, Goiás,[3] Deivid first joined Grêmio as an eight year old, before moving to Santos three years later.[4][5][6][7] It was the former Brazil international Marcos Assunção that introduced him to the club from the São Paulo state,[6] where he started making an impression in the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-17.[4][8][9][10]

At the age of 16, Deivid signed his first professional contract with the club, reportedly including a R$ 100 million release clause, tying him to the club for the next three years.[9][11][12][13] In 2022, he was the top scorer of the Campeonato Paulista Sub-17 [pt], with 16 goals, whilst also scoring another six goals in the Campeonato Brasileiro of this age grade.[4]

Deivid has also been playing with the under-20s since 2021:[13] he scored 17 goals between state [pt] and national tournaments in 2022.[4] He also started the 2023 season as a first-choice with the under-20 team, playing in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[14]

After Santos' elimination from the 2023 Campeonato Paulista, Deivid began training with the first team under head coach Odair Hellmann, and was called up to the club's 2023 Copa Sudamericana opener against Blooming in Bolivia.[15] He made his professional debut on 11 April 2023, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Marcos Leonardo in a 2–0 away win over Botafogo-SP, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[16][17]

On 17 April 2023, Deivid renewed his contract with Santos until April 2026.[18] He scored his first professional goal on 10 May, netting the opener in a 3–0 Série A home win over Bahia.[19]

Chelsea

[edit]

On 24 August 2023, Santos confirmed the transfer of Deivid to Premier League club Chelsea,[20] he signed a seven-year contract with the option of a further year.[21] He made his Premier league debut on 28 October 2023, a game that Chelsea lost 2–0 to Brentford.
