Evanilson Scout Report At Bournemouth 2026/2027: Turning High Energy Into Peak Goalscoring Form - Player Analysis
It is a great time to be a Bournemouth fan.
Back when the club was in EFL League Two, the idea of beating teams like AC Milan, Manchester United and Aston Villa within a six-day window would have been laughed off.
At the heart of their excellent form is Evanilson.
For the last two seasons, the 27-year-old Brazilian seemed to have this reputation as a striker everybody valued but nobody quite trusted.
His six league goals in 36 appearances last season were a thin return on a club-record £40.2m fee.
He has scored 16 in 67 league matches since his move from Porto, but under Marco Rose, the goals are coming more steadily.
Evanilson now has four goals and four assists from nine Premier League starts, and he scored in all four league games in October.
Only Erling Haaland has more goal involvements.
Rose's system rewards what Evanilson always did well and puts him in better shooting positions more often.
He has gone from servant of the system to its reference point, and now the question is how much of it lasts.
This Evanilson scout report and player analysis sets out his profile, strengths, and weaknesses.
It explains why Marco Rose values him, how he fits the game model, and what he could become from here.
Evanilson Player Profile
Evanilson is a connecting No. 9.
He is not a target man or a pure finisher.
His instinct is to drop into the space between midfield and defence, move the ball forward, then attack the box again.
He also likes to occupy wide areas, using his speed to beat players, and he does this well because he knows how to lend the ball and run into vacant spaces and the blind side of centre-backs.
As shown against Leeds United on two separate occasions, Evanilson shows his demand for the ball and excellent hold-up ability under pressure.
In one instance, he is physically challenged from behind yet still retains possession, while in another he absorbs the pressure and shields the ball.
He holds possession until the pass slows, allowing him to stay composed and choose the right option to progress the attack.
