Jair, Souza e Deivid Washington reunite with former Santos team-mates | OneFootball

Jair, João Victor Souza and Deivid Washington joined fellow former Santos academy players for a small-sided game in Santos on Monday during their holidays.

According to Diario Do Peixe, the trio, all sold to English clubs, linked up with right-back JP Chermont, currently on loan at Coritiba, and Rodrigo Falcão, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Bontempo and Mateus Xavier.

Jair is at Nottingham Forest, João Victor Souza at Tottenham and Deivid Washington at Chelsea.

They emerged from a standout youth cohort and now play for the senior side, with the exception of Mateus Xavier, who has still appeared for the Under-20s.

Also present were forward Pedro Amarante, now at Desportivo Brasil, friend and hairdresser Nicolas Lima, plus academy performance coordinator Daniel Padilha, Under-20 performance analyst Matheus Alvarez and physiotherapist Guilherme Soares, who worked with that group during their academy years.

Santos benefited financially from the sale of three to English football and still have Gustavinho, Bontempo and Mateus Xavier impressing. The group forged close bonds since playing together at Under-15 level. Jair, Deivid, Bontempo, Gustavinho and Falcão were born in 2005, Souza and Chermont in 2006, and Mateus Xavier in 2007.
