Club career

[edit]

Early career and Marítimo

[edit]

Born in Lisbon of Angolan descent,[2] Abreu moved to Manchester in England as a child, where he attended Loreto College.[3] He played youth football for Bacup Borough and Mossley,[4] and trialled with S.L. Benfica before signing a three-year contract with C.S. Marítimo in July 2011.[3] In 2012, he was loaned to amateurs Clube Desportivo Ribeira Brava – also in the island of Madeira – to kickstart his senior career.[5]

Abreu spent the better part of his spell at the Estádio do Marítimo registered with the reserve side.[6][7] His first Primeira Liga appearance with the first team occurred on 1 February 2015, when he came on as a late substitute in a 1−1 away draw against Académica de Coimbra.[8] In May 2014, he renewed his contract until June 2017.[5]

Penafiel

[edit]

On 10 July 2017, Abreu signed a two-year deal with LigaPro team F.C. Penafiel as a free agent.[9] With 12 goals in his first season, he ranked seventh in the league's goalscorers,[10] including a hat-trick on 21 October in a 4–1 home victory over Sporting CP B.[11]

Moreirense

[edit]

In June 2019, Abreu returned to the top division when he joined Moreirense F.C. for three years; he released himself from an agreement with Gil Vicente F.C. in order to do so.[12] On 11 August, at home to precisely that team, he scored his first top-flight goal to open a 3–0 win,[13] and from February to March 2020 he netted in six consecutive games, ending with one in a 2–0 defeat of former club Marítimo.[14] He finished the campaign as an ever-present with 13 goals, the fifth-most in the league.[15]

Asia

[edit]

On 13 October 2020, Abreu signed for Saudi Professional League club Al Batin FC in a €2.5 million transfer, under Portuguese manager José Garrido.[16] He scored on his debut 16 days later, equalising in a 2–1 home win over Al Raed FC.[17]

Abreu moved to the UAE Pro League with Khor Fakkan Club in July 2022.[18]

On 17 July 2023, Abreu joined Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan.[19] On 22 July 2023, he made his debut for Guoan in a 2-0 home win against Qingdao Hainiu.[20] He scored his first goals for Guoan 4 days later, a brace in the 4–1 away victory against Qingdao West Coast in the round of 16 of the Chinese FA Cup.[21]

On 28 September 2024, Abreu completed his first hat-trick for Guoan in a 8–1 home win against Changchun Yatai.[22]

International career

[edit]

Abreu played three games for England Schoolboys in 2010.[3] He won his first cap for Angola on 6 September 2019, featuring the entire 1−0 away win over Gambia for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers,[23] and scored his first goal in the return leg, a 2−1 victory in Luanda that qualified the team to the group phase.[24]
