[edit] AEK Athens

In January 2008, Edinho was loaned by Setúbal to AEK Athens in Greece. Not an undisputed starter at Setúbal, he displayed tremendous football since arriving at AEK Athens, managing to score in five straight games: against Skoda Xanthi F.C. at home (3-0), away at OFI Crete (1-4), at home with Aris FC (1-1) and at Apollon Kalamarias F.C. (0-1), topping it with a good goal in the (4-0) smashing of arch-rivals Olympiacos F.C.. On May 6, 2008 Edinho made his move to AEK Athens permanent ^[1]
