João Alves de Assis Silva (born 20 March 1987), commonly referred to as Jô, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Sport Club Internacional and the Brazil national team as a striker.

He has previously played for Corinthians, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Everton and Galatasaray.

Club career

Corinthians

Born in São Paulo, Jô played for Brazilian side Corinthians during the years of 2003–2005. He made 54 appearances scoring 23 goals. In 2005 he was transferred to Russian club CSKA Moscow.

CSKA Moscow

Jô scored 14 goals in his first 18 appearances for CSKA Moscow. In the UEFA Champions League, Jô scored two goals in the matches against Inter Milan, one being in a dramatic 4–2 loss at the San Siro. Altogether Jô appeared in 77 games for CSKA Moscow, scoring 44 goals.

Manchester City

On 31 September 2008, Manchester City signed Jô for an undisclosed amount thought to be worth about £18m, a club record transfer for Manchester City F.C. at the time and the first marquee signing of the new middle eastern owners.[1] He scored one league goal in 9 games against Portsmouth[2] and also scored a brace in the UEFA Cup against Amonia Nicosia.[3] Jô found it difficult to establish himself in the City team and featured in just 6 games at the start of the 2008–09 season.

Everton

Jô joined Everton on loan in February 2009, until the end of the 2008–09 season.[4] He made his debut at Goodison Park against Bolton Wanderers, scoring twice in a 3–0 win.[5] He finished the season with five goals from twelve league appearances, though missed out on Everton’s run to the 2009 FA Cup Final as he was cup-tied after playing the last 20 minutes of Manchester City's third round defeat to Nottingham Forest.[6]

He returned to Manchester City at the end of the season,[7][8] but re-joined Everton on a season-long loan for 2009–10,[9] with the option of a permanent move at the end of that period.[10][11] His first competitive goal in the loan spell was scored against AEK Athens in a Europa League group game, which Everton went on to win 4–0.[12][13][14] After returning to Brazil without permission over the Christmas period, Everton manager David Moyes suspended him for a breach of conduct.[15]

Galatasaray

After the breach of conduct at Everton, he returned to Manchester City and was loaned to Galatasaray on the very same day.[16] He scored three goals during his loan spell at Galatasaray.

Return to Manchester City

He returned to Manchester City after his loan spell at Galatasaray expired. Jô scored in his first game back against Portland Timbers and was also successful in further pre-season friendlies against New York Red Bulls, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia CF respectively. He then went on to score in the Europa League win against Salzburg[17] and in the Carling Cup loss to West Bromwich Albion,[18] his fourth and fifth goals for the club.

On 21 November 2010 Jo made a rare start for Manchester City in his team's 4–1 demolition of Mark Hughes' Fulham, playing his part in a sublime team performance. Jô also featured in Manchester City's 3–1 win away to West Ham before Christmas and scored City's only goal in a 1–1 draw with Juventus in the UEFA Europa League.

Sport Club Internacional

On 20 July 2011, following a disappointing spell at Manchester City, only scoring six goals in forty-one appearances, Jô decided to return to Brazil and join Sport Club Internacional to try to revive his career.

International career

Jô received his first call-up to the Brazil national football team in May 2007 and was in the squad to play against England, but did not play. He then made his international debut in a friendly against Turkey, in June 2007 aged 20.

Jô was named in the Brazilian squad for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He scored a goal in the 3–0 win over Singapore, a pre-Olympic friendly. After gaining a handful of mostly substitute appearances in the Olympics, he then went on to score two goals in the Bronze medal playoff in a 3–0 victory over Belgium. He has not been included in any further squads.
