Arthur Mendonça Cabral

Arthur Cabral attacks space by holding up the ball and waiting for runners, then peels off to threaten the back post. Arthur Cabral rose through Basel’s ranks, became a clinical finisher with 75 goals in 118 appearances, then moved to Fiorentina for a €14 million fee. He solidified as a primary target man. Arthur Cabral then joined Benfica in 2023 before returning to Brazil with Botafogo in 2025. His Basel exploits anchored his profile, while a 17-goal season across competitions at Fiorentina marked a turning point. At Botafogo he links play with short layoffs and pins centre-backs to create space. The forward presses high, holds up under pressure, and gets shots off quickly. The on-pitch punchline is finishing moves that capitalise on a first touch in crowded area.
