A 20-year-old winger who has represented Brazil only at under-16 level was signed from Grêmio last January for an initial £8.7m.
Available match notes from the weekend do not describe a single game. They record separate points about a young winger, a Chelsea spell, a Coventry penalty claim, a club record and a scoring run.
Evanilson has scored in five consecutive league matches. Only Nicolas Jackson has scored as many in the top flight since the last international break.
Other notes said a season at Chelsea had left a player short of confidence, mixing diffidence with overaggression, lacking composure in the box and with his arms flailing. They described his current status as that of an overnight sensation, while saying a taste for the spectacular and an eye for goal had been obvious since two goals against Leeds in November 2025. The notes do not name him or say he is the Grêmio signing.
A further note said a figure equalled a club record set under Eddie Howe in League One. It does not identify the club, the player or the statistic.
