Club career
editBorn in Nova Friburgo in Brazil, Fersura moved to Caruaru at the age of fifteen to pursue a career in professional football.[2] Here he joined social project club Fábrica de Craques, before spending time with a number of lower division Brazilian clubs.[2]
After spending a season with Porto-PE, he was promoted to the first team in 2024, making a handful of appearances in the Campeonato Pernambucano before being scouted by Spanish club Real Betis, as part of their Betis Talent programme, a project seeking to find players from lesser known leagues or teams to bring into Betis' academy.[2][3] During their scouting of South America, Betis reportedly chose Fersura out of ten thousand players they had looked at, and Porto-PE had also received offers from a number of clubs in Brazil's top flight.[2] He made the shock move officially in July 2024, signing a five-year contract.[4]
Style of play
editPredominantly a right-winger, Fersura is left-footed, and while this would tend to encourage him to cut inside to favour his stronger foot, he is known to drive to the goal-line, beating players with his pace, before crossing with his weaker right foot.[3]
