Club career

In April 2011, Samuel transferred to Fluminense. He made his professional debut for Fluminense during the 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and scored five goals in 23 league appearances as the club won its fourth national title. That same year he made five appearances in the 2012 Campeonato Carioca, helping the club to that title, the club's 31st state championship. The following season Samuel made 45 appearances in all competitions scoring 9 goals, which included 8 matches during the Copa Libertadores.[3] Samuel was close to joining La Liga's Espanyol during the 2013 summer transfer period, however, Fluminense was not able to reach a deal with the Spanish side.[4]

In January 2014, Samuel was acquired on loan by Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy.[5] On 12 March 2014, Samuel scored his first goal for Galaxy at home against Mexican side Club Tijuana in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions League tie, Samuel's effort proved to be the only goal as Galaxy defeated the Xolos 1–0.
