Wesley Moraes Ferreira da Silva

Wesley Moraes rose at Club Brugge, earning the 2018 Belgian Young Professional Footballer of the Year. Wesley Moraes moved on to Aston Villa. In 2019 he earned a senior Brazil cap. A season-ending cruciate injury in 2020 paused his rise before a revival at Fatih Karagümrük, where he scored 22 goals in 2024–25.

Wesley Moraes operates as an Advanced Forward or Target Man who links play with flick-ons, presses high, and threatens the back post.
