Keirrison de Souza Carneiro (born 3 December 1988),[1] nicknamed "K9", is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward, most recently for Londrina.

Club career

Coritiba

Keirrison became a regular in

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 2008's top goalscorer with 23 goals, tied with Washington of Fluminense and Kléber Pereira of Santos, being the youngest top scorer in the history of Brazil.[7]

Palmeiras

Keirrison joined

Copa Libertadores as Palmeiras beat Real Potosí 1–1 on 29 January 2010.[11] On 26 June, it said on Palmeiras' official website that Barcelona
had made an offer for the striker.

Barcelona

On 23 July 2009, Barcelona announced on its website it had agreed to terms with Palmeiras to bring Keirrison to the

Roma,[13] Monaco and Ajax.[14]

In articles published several years following his arrival at Barcelona, Keirrison was chosen as one of the worst signings in the history of the club.[15][16][17]

Loan to Benfica

On 28 July 2009, it was announced Portuguese Primeira Liga club Benfica agreed on terms to take the Brazilian on loan for the 2009–10 season.[18] Keirrison scored his first goal for Benfica in a friendly against Celtic. However, with the abundance of strikers in form at Benfica, Keirrison found it hard to break into the first team; to some, Keirrison was behind Óscar Cardozo, Nuno Gomes and Javier Saviola in the pecking order at the Estádio da Luz.[19] While in Portugal, Keirrison started one match for Benfica and played a total of just 199 minutes. In January 2010, then Benfica manager Jorge Jesus even went as far as to say that he did not plan to play Keirrison for the remainder of the season.[20] Nonetheless, Keirisson became a Portuguese champion thanks to the five league matches he featured in for Primeira Liga winners Benfica.

Loan to Fiorentina

On 31 January 2010,

Lazio and he later went on to score the equalizer in the 92nd minute, his first goal for Fiorentina.[27]

Return to Brazil

On 10 July 2010, Keirrison's loan with Fiorentina was terminated prematurely,[28] and on 12 July, he was loaned by Barcelona to Brazilian side Santos.[29]

With Santos, Keirrison won the 2011 Copa Libertadores, but as a reserve. In August 2011, he was loaned to Cruzeiro until the end of the 2011 Brazilian season.[30]

In March 2012, Keirrison was loaned to his original club, Coritiba, until the end of the 2013–14 season.[31]

Permanent move to Coritiba

On 7 March 2014, Keirrison agreed a free transfer with Coritiba which was validated on 1 July, after his contract with Barcelona terminated.[32]

In September 2015, Keirrison went to court against Coritiba requesting unpaid wages and medical expenses from a surgery to recover from an injury.[33] In November, after the club claimed to have paid the debt, Keirrison said he would not play in the next match against Figueirense, claiming he "would not be ready".[34] One director told the reason might be that "he [Keirrison] checked his bank account and the money was not there yet", thus deciding not to play.[35] He was released after the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

2016

On 18 January 2016, Keirrison flew to Thailand to sign for Buriram United,[36] however both sides could not agree on a deal and the transfer deal fell through.[37]

From Coritiba to Londrina (twice)

Keirrison scored eight goals in 24 starts for Londrina in 2016 before returning to Coritiba, via Arouca in Portugal, only to sign for Londrina on a 2-year contract in January 2018 to compete in the Campeonato Paranaense, Série B and Copa do Brasil.[38]

On 3 February 2018 he got his first goal since returning with the equaliser in the Alviceleste's match with Cianorte in the Café Stadium that finished 1-1.[39]

Personal life

Keirrison was born in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, the son of Operário (MS) footballer Adir Carneiro and Alzira Rosa de Souza. His name was chosen by his father as a tribute to rock musicians Jim Morrison from The Doors and Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones, and also an admiration for the letter K.[3] Keirrison and his father bought a football club from Campo Grande, the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul in April 2008, and renamed it to Centro de Futebol Keirrison, shortened as CFK9.[40]

Keirrison is married to Hevelin Buss, sister of former teammate and Brazilian international Henrique.[41] In November 2015, their two-year-old son died after a respiratory failure.[42]
