Leanderson da Silva Genésio (born 1 October 1997), commonly known as Lelê, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Fluminense.
Club career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Lelê started his career with Itaboraí Profute, first appearing in the 2018 Campeonato Carioca Série C. After being the top scorer of the side in the following year, he was loaned to Maricá for the remainder of the Campeonato Carioca Série B1.[1]
Lelê returned to Profute for the latter stages of the 2020 Campeonato Carioca Série B2, but rejoined Maricá for the 2021 season.[2] On 20 December of that year, after helping Maricá to reach the Copa Rio finals and achieve a first-ever qualification to the Copa do Brasil, he joined Volta Redonda.[3]
Lelê was regularly used for Voltaço during the 2022 campaign, winning both the Campeonato Carioca Série A2 and the Copa Rio. On 11 January 2023, his loan with Profute was renewed for a further year;[4] Profute, however, confirm the extension of the loan until April.[5]
On 28 February 2023, Série A side Fluminense announced the signing of Lelê on loan from Profute, with the player arriving at the club after the 2023 Campeonato Carioca.[6] In his debut in the category on 15 April, he came on as a half-time substitute for Gabriel Pirani, assisted John Kennedy's second and scored the third goal in a 3–0 away win over América Mineiro.[7]
