Paulinho , real name Paulo José de Oliveira (born March 9, 1986 ), is a Brazilian soccer player . The striker became the Allsvenskan top scorer for Swedish club BK Häcken in the 2018 season .

Career

Paulinho started his professional career at the EC Democrata in Minas Gerais . In the summer of 2007, the offensive player joined the Swedish club BK Häcken. At the club appearing in the second-rate Superettan , he was given the number “10” on his back and established himself as a regular goalscorer in the club's regular formation. After he achieved 13 goals in 17 games in the second division season in 2007 , he contributed nine goals in 20 games to reaching second place in the table in the following season. The team thus rose directly to the first division.

In the Allsvenskan, Paulinho maintained his place in the regular formation alongside offensive players Jonas Henriksson and Mathias Ranégie . Similar to goal scoring as in the second division, he contributed in his first year with seven goals this season and five assists to reaching fifth place in the table, in his second season in the Swedish House of Lords he was eight times successful as a goalscorer.

After the end of the 2010 season , Paulinho, whose contract in Sweden had expired, returned to Brazil. He signed a contract with Venda Nova FC . However, his stay in his home country was short-lived, in spring 2011 he returned to Sweden and joined Örebro SK . On the side of Kushtrim Lushtaku , Samuel Wowoah and Nordin Gerzić , he finished twelfth in the table with the club in his first season. At the turn of the year he went underground in Brazil and announced that he would rather play amateur football there than return to Sweden. At the end of January, the two contracting parties terminated the existing contract.

From 2013 Paulinho played again in a higher class in Brazil and competed for São José EC and CA Bragantino . In 2014 he briefly returned to Europe and was under contract with İnter Baku . He then returned to his native country, where he played for the Paraná Clube . After a short detour to al-Dhafra in Abu Dhabi , he joined EC XV de Novembro in early 2015 .

In mid-April 2015, Paulinho agreed to return to BK Häcken from the summer transfer window. Here he became a successful goal getter and scored eleven goals in 15 games by the end of the season. This placed him among the top ten goalscorers in the championship and was subsequently courted by other Allsvenskan clubs. Due to an injury, he was then only used irregularly, in the final of the Swedish National Cup 2015/16 against Malmö FF , he was used as a substitute. In the penalty shootout , he converted his penalty and thus contributed to winning the title. In the 2018 season he scored 20 goals in the championship in 27 games this season. Although he did not qualify for the European Cup as fifth in the table with his club , he was crowned Allsvenskan top scorer.
