Djalma Braume Manuel Abel Campos (born 30 May 1987), simply known as Djalma, is an Angolan footballer who plays for Turkish club Konyaspor on loan from F.C. Porto as a forward.

Djalma played most of his career in Portugal, starting with Marítimo with which he remained several seasons. In 2011 he signed with Porto.

Club career

The son of Abel Campos, a winger who played several seasons in Portugal, including with S.L. Benfica and S.C. Braga,[1][2] Djalma was born in Luanda and played his youth football in the Lisbon Region. In the 2006 summer he signed with C.S. Marítimo in the top division, his only appearance of the season being on 5 May 2007 in a 0–0 home draw against Académica de Coimbra (12 minutes played).

Djalma became an important first-team member for the Madeirans from 2008–09 onwards – even though he played his last game for the reserves in 2010 – scoring six goals in 28 matches in the 2009–10 campaign, and forming an efficient attacking partnership with Senegalese Baba Diawara. On 25 October 2009 he netted twice in a 3–1 home win against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

On 2 May 2011, Djalma signed a five-year contract with F.C. Porto.[3] A reserve player in his first year, he appeared in 19 official games to help the northerners win the national championship, scoring his only league goal of the season (three in total) in the last round at Rio Ave FC, in a 5–2 win.[4]

International career

Djalma received his first call-up to the Angolan national team in 2008. Following several successful displays for Marítimo, he was selected for the squads at both the 2010 and the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

Djalma scored his first international goal against Malta in October 2009, in a 2–1 friendly win. His second came in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Uganda, on 3 June 2012.[5]
