Kevin Santos Lopes de Macedo (born 4 January 2003), simply known as Kevin, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk.
Kevin grew up in Itaim Paulista, a district of São Paulo, starting to play football in Porto Feliz's Desportivo Brasil, after refusing an Atlético Mineiro contract as an under-13, with the club being too far from his home.[2]
In 2020, he joined the youth system of Palmeiras.[3] In January 2023, he helped the Palmeiras U20 win the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, earning Player of the Tournament honours, after scoring five goals and adding five assists in eight matches.[4] [5]
After playing the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 with Desportivo Brasil, Kevin joined SE Palmeiras's under-20 in 2020, on a one-year loan with a buyout clause that eventually resulted in a permanent transfer.[2] [6]
He made his professional debut for Palmeiras on 1 December 2021, replacing Giovani during a 3–1 Serie A away win against Cuiabá.[7] He started his first game on the 10 December 2021, also scoring his first senior goal on this occasion, the winner of a 1–0 home win against Ceará concluding the league season of the recent Copa Libertadores winners.[8]
On 19 January 2024, Kevin signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk, for a reported transfer fee of €12 million + €3 million in add-ons.[9] [10]
