Allan Rodrigues de Souza (born 3 March 1997), known as Allan, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sint-Truiden, on loan from Liverpool.

Club career

Internacional

Born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Allan rose slowly through the ranks as a youth product of his hometown club Internacional. Goal Brazil’s deputy editor Rodrigo Calvozzo claimed Allan "was always treated by Internacional as one of the most important players in the team."[1]

Liverpool

In the summer of 2015, he joined English Premier League club Liverpool for a fee of £500,000 after impressing the club's coaches at the Frenz International Cup.[2]

Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (loan)

On 2 September 2015, he was loaned to Finnish club Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho on a short term deal.[3] Allan scored on his debut eight days later, coming on in the 56th minute for Jussi Vasara and opening the scoring sixteen minutes later in a 1–1 draw away to KuPS.[4] He finished the season with two goals in eight appearances, in the process helping the club win the Veikkausliiga title.[5] On 29 October 2015, Allan returned from his loan spell to Liverpool, greeting the new manager of the club, Jürgen Klopp, for the first time.[6]

Sint-Truiden (loan)

On 18 January 2016, Liverpool announced that Allan had been loaned to Belgian club Sint-Truiden for the remainder of the season.[7]

Style of play

A central midfielder by trade, Allan is primarily left-footed and employs a strong passing range, honed with time spent as a deep-lying playmaker in Brazil. Allan has proven himself a useful box-to-box midfielder with promising attacking instincts.[1]
