Arthur played his entire career in his homeland. In total, Arthur played 51 matches for the Sao Paulo club, scoring 10 goals and giving two assists.
“Arthur is an attacking player, most often appearing on the attacking flanks (103 matches on the right side, 51 on the left), but he has experience in both midfield and in the center of attack,” Zenit said. How notes “Sport-Express”, in terms of his characteristics, the forward resembles Malcolm, who left St. Petersburg in the summer, and without whom the blue-white-blues finished the first part of the season only in second place. “Arthur is called upon to return Zenit to winning ways for the 2022/23 season… He is 168 centimeters tall, has a low center of gravity, and has impressive dribbling ability. Capable of both running away from an opponent and powerfully punching from a distance. True, Arthur’s execution is far from amazing, but he willingly shares the ball and creates chances for his partners,” the newspaper reports.
“Championship” with reference to the Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola writes that Arthur moved to Zenit for € 15 million + € 3 million in bonuses (€ 18 million in total).
Let us remind you that Brazilian defender Nino has already transferred to Zenit during this transfer window. And Robert Renan went on loan to Internacional from Porto Alegre.
