The striker is competing for a place among the club’s centre-forwards
Rwan’s relegation loan and Raniel’s release leave Santos with few players in the forward position. Still far from a replacement, the Alvinegro situation generates the need for a ‘homemade solution’ to the problem. In this, the name of Deivid Washington, a young promise from Peixe, takes strength in the search for opportunities in the club’s professional squad.
The month of March was quite important for the 17-year-old striker. With Peixe’s early elimination in Paulistão’s first phase, Santos created enough time to test the side. Well rated internally, Deivid has begun a process of transitioning to the first team.
The opening of two vacancies in the squad has increased the centre-forward’s chances of establishing himself in professionalism. Even so, the club avoids troubled and premature transitions from Meninos da Vila, such as the one that occurred with the young Ângelo. Therefore, Santos is in no hurry to use Deivid, but has plans if the attacker gives positive responses.
Indicated as one of the 60 best prospects in world football by the English newspaper ‘The Guardian’, Deivid Washington is considered a jewel of the Meninos da Vila. If a team wants to pay the fine for the player, the applicant will have to pay R$ 100 million.
