Benfica's new game-changer could come from Dani Alves' club | OneFootball

Benfica are keeping an eye on yet another young talent in Portuguese football. Deivid Kauan, born in 2008, is one of the players on the Eagles’ radar and could be a long-term prospect for Benfica’s academy, much like a Porto player.

The Brazilian winger moved this year from Santa Fé to São João de Ver, a club that competes in Liga 3 and is controlled by Dani Alves. The 18-year-old has shown promising signs at the Santa Maria da Feira side, even getting on the scoresheet in Liga 3.

He is a right-footed winger, but he is capable of playing on either flank. Boldness is one of his main traits, standing out above all for his technical quality and ability to beat opponents one-on-one.

The young Brazilian shows strong close-control dribbling, while also displaying ease in linking up with teammates and taking part in the build-up of attacking moves. A possible move to Benfica would therefore fit into a strategy of investing in young players with room to develop.

. His connection to São João de Ver could make it easier for Portugal’s big clubs to keep tabs on the young attacker, who is now looking to establish himself in Portuguese football.
