First Training Session of the Brazilian Newcomer at Fulham: Amazing Impressions and Exciting Debut
In the United Kingdom, a new chapter is unfolding for Fulham as they welcome their young and promising Brazilian winger, Kevin.
His first training session ignited enthusiasm among coaches and players alike, who were visibly impressed by his performance.
The 34-year-old Fulham captain, Tom Cairney, openly expressed his admiration for the newcomer, describing his debut workout as ‘astonishing’ and ‘incredible’ due to Kevin’s skills and speed.
Cairney even compared Kevin’s performance to that of legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé’s sons, highlighting that this player not only has the potential to energize the team but also to entertain fans.
Regarding the contract, the 22-year-old Brazilian signed with Fulham until 2030, with an option for an additional season.
The transfer fee was €40 million, with insiders revealing a further €5 million in bonuses.
Kevin previously played for Palmeiras and was transferred to Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2024 for €12 million — named the best player of the Donetsk club in the 2024/25 season.
Fulham’s first three matches of the new season resulted in two draws and one loss.
Notably, there are reports that another Ukrainian player, Sudakov, might soon join the team — a key figure from Shakhtar’s squad, who recently signed with Benfica.
Additionally, the club announced the signing of two Brazilian forwards, opening new prospects for Ukrainian-British football collaborations.
