Kayky da Silva Chagas (born 11 June 2003), known as Kayky, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eredivisie club Sparta Rotterdam, on loan from Premier League club Manchester City.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Fluminense

[edit]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Kayky was initially rejected a place in the Fluminense academy, as the club had filled their spaces, and instead joined local side Mangueira. In his first game, he scored a hattrick in a 5–3 win over Fluminense, prompting Flu to immediately sign him.[3] He initially joined up with their under-9 futsal squad.[4] He transitioned to football during his development, and was an important unit of the under-17 squad which won the 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-17.[5]

Promoted to the main squad for the 2021 campaign, Kayky made his professional debut on 4 March of that year, coming on as a first-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Miguel Silveira in a 1–2 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Resende.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 6 April, netting the opener in a 4–0 away routing of Macaé.[7] On 11 April, Kayky scored Flu's opener in a 3–1 home win against Nova Iguaçu through an individual effort, after dribbling past four opponents.[8] On 6 May, he became the youngest player to score in the Copa Libertadores for Fluminense, at age 17, in the 1–1 draw with Junior.

Manchester City

[edit]

In April 2021, several media sources reported that Kayky and teammate Metinho (who signed for City's partner club Troyes) had both agreed to a move to Manchester City for a combined fee of €15 million; Kayky's deal alone would cost €10 million, with another 15 in variables.[9][10] On 23 April, the agreement was officially confirmed, with the transfer set to go through in January 2022.[11] However in August, it was announced that Kayky would join immediately instead of January.[12] Fluminense would retain a percentage of any future sale and add-ons. On 7 January 2022, Kayky made his City debut as a substitute for Cole Palmer, in a 4–1 away win over League Two side Swindon Town in the FA Cup.[13] On 12 February 2022, he made his Premier League debut as a substitute for Riyad Mahrez, in a 4–0 away win over Norwich City.[14]

Loan to Paços de Ferreira

[edit]

On 13 August 2022, Kayky signed for Paços de Ferreira on a season-long loan.[15] He was recalled in December 2022.

Loan to Bahia

[edit]

On 13 January 2023, Kayky signed for Brazilian club Bahia on loan for the entire 2023 season.[16] He played 28 games for the club, recording 4 goals and 5 assists.[17]

Manchester City return

[edit]

Soon after his loan ended with Bahia on 31 December 2023 he returned to Manchester City reserves to rehabilitate following his knee injury.

Loan to Sparta Rotterdam

[edit]

On 26 August 2024, Kayky signed for Eredivisie club Sparta Rotterdam on a season-long loan.[18][19] Kayky made his debut for Sparta Rotterdam on 19 October 2024 in a 2 all draw.This was his first game in over a year since his injury.

International career

[edit]

Constantly called up to trainings with the Brazil under-15[20] and under-17 squads,[21] Kayky featured in two friendlies for the under-16 side in 2019.

Style of play

[edit]

A left-footed right-sided forward, Kayky is often compared to Neymar due to his dribbling ability.[22] He celebrates his goals by doing a moustache with his hand, as an honour to his father.[23]
