Club career
Vasco da Gama
Born in Jotaesse, Tupãssi, Paraná, Kayzer moved to São Vicente, São Paulo at early age and started his career with Santos' youth setup.[1] He subsequently represented Desportivo Brasil and Vasco da Gama, finishing his formation with the latter in 2015.
Kayzer made his first team – and Série A – debut for Vasco on 16 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Serginho in a 2–2 away draw against Cruzeiro.[2] He only appeared in two further matches during the campaign, both as a substitute.
On 26 February 2016, Kayzer was loaned to Oeste until the end of the year.[3] On 24 May, after featuring rarely, he moved to Série C side Portuguesa also in a temporary deal,[4] but again featured sparingly.
Kayzer subsequently represented Villa Nova, Ferroviária and Tupi on loan,[5] impressing with the latter in the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro.
Cruzeiro
On 9 April 2018, Kayzer signed for Cruzeiro and was immediately loaned to Atlético Goianiense in the Série B.[6] He was a regular starter for the side, scoring seven goals and narrowly missing out promotion.
Kayzer returned to Raposa for the 2019 season; initially assigned to the first team,[7] he was rarely used and subsequently moved out on loan to Ponte Preta.[8] A subsequent loan move to Chapecoense followed,[9] where he featured sparingly as the club suffered relegation.
On 29 December 2019, Kayzer returned to Atlético Goianiense, also on loan, with the side now in the top tier.[10]
Athletico Paranaense
On 25 September 2020, Kayzer joined Athletico Paranaense on a permanent three-year deal after a long series of loan spells.[11] He scored a career-best 11 goals in the 2020 Série A (including three goals with Atlético Goianiense), and added a further six in the following tournament.
Fortaleza
On 8 February 2022, Kayzer signed for Fortaleza on a permanent deal.[12] After being rarely used, he joined Daejeon Hana Citizen in South Korea on a six-month loan deal on 17 July.[13]
Kayzed suffered an Achilles tendon rupture in October 2022, which kept him sidelined for 11 months.[14] He moved to América Mineiro on loan on 2 August 2023,[15] but only played in three matches as the club suffered relegation.
On 4 January 2024, Kayzer was announced as an addition of newly-promoted side Criciúma on a one-year loan deal.[16] He was a regular starter as the club won the year's Campeonato Catarinense, and scored the first goal of the 2024 Série A before being recalled by Fortaleza on 13 April.[17]
