Club career

Arsenal

Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Ebecilio started his youth career at Feyenoord when he was seven. [7] Ebecilio soon attracted interest from Premier League clubs [8] and eventually joined Arsenal in 2010. [9] In 2011, Ebecilio signed his first professional contract with the club. [10] In November 2011, Ebecilio felt it was time for him to make his breakthrough at Arsenal. [11] While at Arsenal, Ebecilio helped the club to reach to fourth place of the 2012–13 NextGen Series.[ citation needed ]

In May 2013, Ebecilio was offered a new contract with the club after years at the club's academy. [1] Meanwhile, other clubs were interested in signing Ebecilio. [12] [13]

Twente

In May 2013, Ebecilio signed a five-year contract with FC Twente, returning to his homeland after three years in England. [14]

Ebecilio made his professional debut on 3 August 2013, coming on as a substitute for Dario Tanda in the 60th minutes, in a 0–0 draw against RKC Waalwijk.
