Kevin Santos Lopes de Macedo (born 4 January 2003), simply known as Kevin, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Palmeiras.

Early life[]

Kevin grew up in Itaim Paulista, a district of São Paulo, starting to play football in Porto Feliz's Desportivo Brasil, after refusing an Atlético Mineiro contract as an under-13, with the club being too far from his home.[1]

Club career[]

After playing the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 with Desportivo Brasil, Kevin joined SE Palmeiras's under-20 in 2020, on a one-year loan with a buyout clause that eventually resulted in a permanent transfer.[1][2]

He made his professional debut for Palmeiras on the 1st December 2021, replacing Giovani during a 3–1 Serie A away win against Cuiabá.[3]

The young winger or second striker started his first game on the 10 December 2021, also scoring his first senior goal on this occasion, the winner of a 1–0 home win against Ceará concluding the unbeaten league season of the recent Copa Libertadores winners.[4]
