Evander da Silva Ferreira (born 9 June 1998), commonly known as Evander, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers.

Club career

[edit]

Vasco da Gama

[edit]

Evander debuted for Vasco da Gama on 5 March 2016 as an 85th-minute substitute in a Campeonato Carioca 3–1 win against Bonsucesso.[1] He scored his first professional goal on 8 November 2017 against Santos in the 33rd round of Brazilian Serie A.[2]

On 31 January 2018, Evander became the youngest Vasco da Gama's player to score twice in a Libertadores match, against Universidad de Concepción.

Midtjylland

[edit]

On 27 August 2018, Vasco confirmed that Evander had been loaned out to FC Midtjylland for the 2018–19 season with a release clause of DKK18 million (around €2.4 million) for the summer of 2019.[3][4][5]

Evander made his debut in the Danish Superliga on 29 September 2018 as a 65th-minute substitute for Jakob Poulsen in a 5–1 home win over Hobro IK.[6] The next weekend, on 7 October, he was substituted in with 12 minutes remaining in a 3–0 win over Vendsyssel FF.[7] On 20 October, Evander scored his first goal for Midtjylland in a 4–1 away win over FC Nordsjælland.[8]

In January 2019, FC Midtjylland agreed with Vasco da Gama on a permanent transfer for Evander, agreeing on a future transfer worth a DKK 15m fee, lower than the original release clause.[9][10] In March 2019, he won the Danish Superliga Player of the Month award.[11]

On 5 December 2022, the Portland Timbers acquired Evander in a full transfer from FC Midtjylland. Signed as a Designated Player, Evander is under contract through 2026 with a club option in 2027.[12]
