Leonardo Nascimento Lopes De Souza (born 28 May 1997) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker for Urawa Red Diamonds.
Career
Leonardo grew in the Santos youth ranks and then he was loaned to the B-team, where he scored three goals in 16 games.[1] Gainare Tottori wanted to scout him, so GM Masayuki Okano and returning Fernandinho went to Brazil to see with their own eyes the striker and another player, Vitor Gabriel. In January 2018, the Tottori-based club signed both class '97 for their incoming 2018 season.[2]
After another top-scorer season, marked by 28 goals in the second tier- this time in 2019 with Albirex Niigata -, the Brazilian striker signed for Urawa Red Diamonds.[3]
