statistics[edit]Honours[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Club career[edit]Arsenal[edit]Dasilva began his career with Arsenal and joined the club’s Hale End academy at the age of eight.[3] He progressed through the ranks and moved from left wing to forward,[4] before settling into a box-to-box midfield role,[5][6] under the guidance of Thierry Henry and Kwame Ampadu.[7] After scoring 28 goals during the first year of his scholarship,[6] he signed his first professional contract in August 2015 and was an unused substitute for the first team on two occasions during the 2016\u201317 season.[1][2] Dasilva was an unused substitute on seven occasions during the first half of the 2017\u201318 season and made three appearances, all in EFL Cup matches.[1] Despite progressing into the U23 team,[8] Dasilva failed to see a pathway into the first team squad turned down a new contract at the end of the 2017\u201318 season.[7] He was released on 30 June 2018.[3]       (adsbygoogle =

year, on a free transfer.[3] After overcoming some fitness issues,[9] he made his debut as a substitute for Josh McEachran late in a 2\u20130 win over Millwall on 3 November 2018.[10] Either side of the New Year, Dasilva made sporadic substitute appearances in league matches and made two FA Cup starts, before breaking into the starting lineup in March 2019.[1] On 19 April 2019, he scored the first senior goal of his career in the return match versus Millwall, with “an unstoppable curling effort into the top corner from 30 yards”,[11] which saved a 1\u20131 draw.[10] Dasilva finished the 2018\u201319 season with 21 appearances and one goal.[10]2019\u201320[edit]After beginning the 2019\u201320 season in a substitute role,[1] Dasilva heeded head coach Thomas Frank’s call to up his workrate and intensity.[7] He subsequently broke into the starting lineup in early October 2019 and came into form,[1] scoring six goals in a 10-match spell, which included the first hat-trick of his career in a 7\u20130 win over Luton Town on 30 November.[12] His November 2019 performances saw him nominated for the EFL Championship Player of the Month award.[13] By the time Brentford’s season ended with defeat in the 2020 Championship play-off Final,[14] Dasilva had made 47 appearances and scored 10 goals.[12]2020\u201321[edit]During the 2020\u201321 season, after seven appearances and two goals,[15] Dasilva signed a new four-year contract on 4 October 2020.[16] His performance and goal in a 1\u20130 EFL Cup quarter-final victory over Premier League club Newcastle United on 22 December was recognised with a place in the EFL Cup Team of the Round.[15][17] In the following round versus Tottenham Hotspur, Dasilva was sent off for the first time in his senior career after receiving a straight red card for a challenge on Pierre-Emile H\u00f8jbjerg.[15][18] By the time his season was ended by a hip injury in late February 2021,[19] Dasilva had made 35 appearances and scored seven goals.[15] In his absence, Brentford were promoted to the Premier League after victory in the 2021 Championship play-off Final.[20]2021\u201322[edit]Having spent four of the previous six months on crutches,[19] Dasilva was left off Brentford’s 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the 2021\u201322 season.[21] After the window transfer window closed, he was named in the club’s updated 25-man Premier League squad.[22] Following two behind closed doors friendly appearances, Dasilva made his first competitive appearance of the season as a substitute for Mads Roerslev after 72 minutes of a 4\u20131 FA Cup fourth round defeat to Everton on 5 February 2022.[19] Dasilva was sent off on his fourth league appearance on 26 February and a hamstring injury suffered while suspended saw him miss a further seven weeks.[1][23] He played the remainder of the season in a substitute role and ended the campaign with 10 appearances.[24]2022\u201323[edit]Following off-season training with a personal coach, alongside former Arsenal teammate Marcus McGuane, Dasilva returned fully fit for the 2022\u201323 season and scored in each of his first two appearances of the regular season.[23][25]International career[edit]Dasilva was a part of the England U19 squad which won the 2017 UEFA European U19 Championship and made three appearances in the tournament.[3][26] He appeared in each match of the U20 team’s 2017\u201318 Under 20 Elite League campaign and was a late inclusion in the squad for the 2019 Toulon Tournament.[27][28] Dasilva won five caps and scored one goal for England at U21 level, all in 2021 UEFA European U21 Championship qualifying matches.[1] In February 2020, Dasilva stated that he would be open to playing for Angola.[29]Personal life[edit]Dasilva is of Angolan descent.[29] He attended Beal High School in Redbridge, London.[4]Career statistics[edit]As of match played 1 April 2023Honours[edit]England U19References[edit]External links[edit]
