Paulo Manuel Neves Alves (born 25 December 1997), commonly known as Paulinho, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a midfielder for Leixões.

Football career

[edit]

From 2015, Paulinho spent three years with Liverpool, as part of the club's Academy; he was included in the senior squad for the first time in January 2017, appearing as an unused substitute in an FA Cup third-round replay tie against Plymouth Argyle.[3]

At the end of the 2017–18 season, having not played a game for Liverpool's first team, he was transferred to Wolves, playing for their Under-23s, including two appearances in the EFL Trophy.

In 2019, he transferred to 1. FK Příbram, making his professional debut on 30 September 2019 in the Czech First League.[4] In January 2020, having failed to add to his solitary appearance, he moved to Campeonato de Portugal side A.D. Sanjoanense.[5]
