Denílson Pereira Júnior (born 18 July 1995), known simply as Dení Jr or Denílson, is a Brazilian footballer who most recently played as a forward for V.League 1 club Hanoi.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Denílson graduated with Fluminense's youth setup. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 9 June 2013, coming on as a second half substitute for Biro-Biro and scoring the winner in a 2–1 home success over Goiás.[1]

Denílson appeared in only one more match before returning to the youth setup. On 31 January 2015 he joined Granada, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2][3]

On 9 August 2016, Denílson signed a season-long loan deal with Neftchi Baku,[4] scoring once in nine appearances before having his loan deal terminated by Neftchi Baku on 18 November 2016.[5] He then returned to Brazil and had a series of loan spells at Avaí, São Paulo and Vitória between 2017 and 2018.

On 20 June 2018, Denílson joined Atlético Mineiro on a five-year deal.[6]

On 3 January 2019, Denílson joined Saudi club Al-Faisaly on a six-month loan deal from Atlético.[7]

On 30 January 2023, Denílson returned to Portugal and signed a year-and-a-half contract with Famalicão.[8]

Hanoi

[edit]

On 2 November 2023, Denílson joined Vietnamese club Hanoi, signing a contract that expires in the end of the 2023–24 season.[9] He was due to appear in a match against Becamex Binh Duong on 24 November 2023, but had to serve a two-match ban incurred while he was still at Avai for receiving a red card in a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Goianiense in September 2023.

On 10 December, Denílson made his debut for Hanoi, scoring a goal in a 2–0 league victory against Song Lam Nghe An.[10] He scored again in Hanoi's next league match, a 2–0 away win to local rivals Viettel on 17 December. The next week, he scored for a third successive league game to equalise the score at Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
