Newertton Martins da Silva

Newerton Martins da Silva attacks space on the left, hugging the touchline and sprinting beyond defenders. Newerton uses pace and low center of gravity to threaten the channel and create separation. He thrives in fast counter-attacks. Newerton signed for Shakhtar Donetsk on July 21, 2023, a move that brought him into European football. He has made at least two first-team appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk by late 2025, after rising through the Brazilian youth system. A turning point came when he settled as a traditional left winger, cutting inside to feed crosses from the left. Newerton's game centers on pace, dribbling in tight spaces, and one-touch links to advancing teammates. He presses high and finishes moves when the ball reappears in dangerous areas.
