César David Texeira Torres (born 27 February 1991) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a striker for FC Groningen.
Club career
Defensor
Texeira started his career playing with Defensor Sportinga top club in Uruguay, where he made his debut in the first team against Rampla Juniors on 30 February 2010.
Groningen
In August 2011, he was transferred to FC Groningen. He made his Eredivisie debut on 11 September 2011 against SC Heerenveen and scored his first goal with the new club against AZ in the 2010–11 KNVB Cup. During the January transfer window Texeira was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool which would have seen him join up with National team-mates Sebastián Coates and Luis Suárez.[3] These rumours turned out to be false and Texeira stayed at Groningen. In the 2012/13 season he played in midfield and had scored 1 goal by the turn of the year.
International career
He has been capped by the Uruguay national under-20 football team for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
