João Gabriel Fersura Feu (born 20 April 2005) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish Primera Federación club Ibiza on loan from Betis Deportivo.
Club career
Born in Nova Friburgo in Brazil, Fersura moved to Caruaru at the age of fifteen to pursue a career in professional football.[2] Here he joined social project club Fábrica de Craques, before spending time with a number of lower division Brazilian clubs.[2]
After spending a season with Porto-PE, he was promoted to the first team in 2024, making a handful of appearances in the Campeonato Pernambucano before being scouted by Spanish club Real Betis, as part of their Betis Talent programme, a project seeking to find players from lesser known leagues or teams to bring into Betis' academy.[2][3] During their scouting of South America, Betis reportedly chose Fersura out of ten thousand players they had looked at, and Porto-PE had also received offers from a number of clubs in Brazil's top flight.[2] He made the shock move officially in July 2024, signing a five-year contract.[4]
Style of play
Predominantly a right-winger, Fersura is left-footed, and while this would tend to encourage him to cut inside to favour his stronger foot, he is known to drive to the goal-line, beating players with his pace, before crossing with his weaker right foot.[3]
