Éverton Sousa Soares (born 22 March 1996), simply known as Éverton, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Grêmio.

Club career

Éverton was born in Maracanaú, Ceará, and joined Grêmio's youth setup in 2012, from Fortaleza.[1] Initially on loan, he signed a permanent contract in October 2013, whilst also being linked to Manchester City in the process.[2][3]

Promoted to the main squad by Enderson Moreira ahead of the 2014 season, Éverton made his first team debut on 19 January of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Yuri Mamute in a 1–0 Campeonato Gaúcho away loss against São José-PA.[4] His first goal came on four days later, as he scored the first in a 2–1 home win against Lajeadense.[5]

Éverton made his Série A debut on 20 April 2014, replacing Pará in a 1–0 away loss against Atlético Paranaense.[6] Rarely used during the tournament, he started to feature more regularly during the 2015 campaign, scoring his first goal in the top tier on 6 September in a 2–1 home success over Goiás.[7]

On 15 August 2016, Éverton renewed his contract with Grêmio until 2020.[8] On 23 November, in the first leg of the 2016 Copa do Brasil Finals, he came on as a late substitute for Douglas and scored the last goal in a 3–1 away win against Atlético Mineiro;[9] he was a starter in the second leg, a 1–1 home draw which granted the title to Tricolor.[10]

Éverton played his 100th match for Grêmio on 9 March 2017, after coming on for Pedro Rocha in a 2–0 Copa Libertadores away win against Zamora FC.[11]

Brazilian team

In August 17th, 2018, Everton was called up by coach Tite for friendly matches against United States, and El Salvador. Thus, Everton was in the first list of Brazil after 2018 FIFA World Cup.[12]
