Francisco Jorge Tavares Oliveira (born 5 February 2000), known as Chiquinho, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Mallorca, on loan from Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Born in Cascais, Lisbon District, [2] Chiquinho spent nearly one decade at the youth system of local Sporting CP. In 2019 he signed with neighbouring G.D. Estoril Praia, [3] making his Liga Portugal 2 debut on 18 January 2020 in a 1–0 home win against Académica de Coimbra where he came on as a 60th-minute substitute. [4] [3] He scored his first goal as a professional the following month, in the 4–1 victory over Casa Pia A.C. also at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota. [5]
In the 2020–21 season, Chiquinho played 13 games to help the club return to the Primeira Liga as champions. [6] He made his first appearance in the competition on 7 August 2021, starting a 2–0 away defeat of F.C. Arouca. [7] His first goal came later that month, when he closed the 2–1 home win over C.S. Marítimo. [8]
On 17 January 2022, Chiquinho joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-and-a-half-year contract, [9] for a reported fee of £2.9 million that could potentially rise to £4.2 million with add-ons. [10] He made his debut on 5 February, which coincidentally was his 22nd birthday, replacing Leander Dendoncker late into a 1–0 home loss against Norwich City in the round of 32 of the FA Cup. [11] His Premier League bow took place five days later, against Arsenal and again off the bench, in another defeat at Molineux Stadium by that scoreline. [12] He claimed his first assist on 10 March, setting up Rúben Neves for the fourth goal in the 4–0 home rout of Watford. [13]
Chiquinho suffered a serious knee injury in a pre-season friendly with Burnley in July 2022. [14] In summer 2023, he joined EFL Championship side Stoke City on loan for the season. [15] However, he was recalled after only playing four matches, [16] and shortly after moved to F.C. Famalicão in his country's top division also on loan. [17]
On 30 August 2024, Chiquinho moved to La Liga club RCD Mallorca on a one-year loan deal. [18]
Chiquinho made his Portugal under-21 debut on 12 November 2021, replacing Fábio Silva in the second half of the 1–0 win in Cyprus in the 2023 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. [19]
