David Neres Campos (born 3 March 1997), known as David Neres, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Dutch club Ajax as a forward.[1]

Club career

São Paulo

Born in São Paulo, Neres joined São Paulo's youth setup in September 2007, aged ten.[2] In February 2016, after being regularly used in that year's U-20 Copa Libertadores, he suffered a shoulder injury which kept him sidelined for months.

Neres was promoted to the main squad by manager Ricardo Gomes in August 2016. He made his first team – and Série A debut – on 17 October, coming on as a second half substitute for Robson in a 2–1 away win against Fluminense.[3]

On 22 October 2016 Neres scored his first goal, netting the last in a 2–0 home win against Ponte Preta.[4] Fourteen days later he scored his second goal, netting the second in a 4–0 home routing of fierce rivals Corinthians.[5]

Ajax

On 30 January 2017, Neres moved to the Dutch club Ajax for a reported fee of €12 million.[1]
