Francisco das Chagas Soares dos Santos

Tiquinho Soares attacks space, peels beyond the line and drags defenders into the box. The Brazilian forward has built his career as a central striker, with stops at Porto and Olympiakos shaping his path. Soares presses high and stays aggressive. He began in Brazil then moved to Nacional and Vitória Guimarães in Portugal. His standout period came at Porto (2017–2020), where Tiquinho Soares scored 45 league goals in 97 appearances and won the Primeira Liga. A later switch to Olympiakos (2021–2022) added a Greek title and broadened his goalscoring profile. Return to Brazil with Botafogo (2022–2024) saw him contribute 35 goals in 94 games, finishing as a reliable target man. At Santos, Soares stays a focal point for late runs and finishing moves.
