Henrique Pereira Araújo
Henrique Araújo attacks space in the box, runs beyond the line, and finishes moves for Benfica. He spent time on loan to develop. In 2022–2023 Henrique Araújo was part of Benfica's Primeira Liga title squad. A 2023–2024 loan at Famalicão yielded 20 appearances and sharpened his poacher instincts. The 2024–2025 loan at Arouca produced 6 goals and 2 assists in 24 matches. In June 2025 Henrique Araújo represented Portugal U21 at the European Championship, scoring twice. Back with Benfica, Araújo acts as a False 9/advanced forward, linking play with one-touch layoffs and pressing high. He attacks the back post and finishes moves, getting shots off quickly.
