Eduardo Pereira Rodrigues, or simply Dudu (born on 7 January 1992 in Goiânia[1]) is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays in Ukraine for Dynamo Kyiv.

Career

Early career

Rodrigues began his career on youthside for Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and earned on 14 June 2009 his first cap in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A against Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.[2] On 27 April 2010 Coritiba Foot Ball Club signed the 18-year old Attacking midfielder on loan from Cruzeiro until December 2010.[3] Dudu went back to Cruzeiro for the 2011 season. On 25 June in the match against Coritiba Dudu, playing as a suplent, has surprised the coach Joel Santana, who said: "Dudu entered really well in the match. He is such a bold boy, intelligent, he doesn't forget the instructions. He is audacious, even being a little guy. It proves that tallness isn't really important for football. Quality, ability and competence are. He showed he is such a competent player, in spite of his young age." [4]

Dynamo Kyiv

On 27 August 2011, it was announced on his team Cruzeiro's official homepage that Dudu would join Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv on a €5 million offer.[5]
