Club career

Gustavo Henrique in action for Santos in 2016

Born in São Paulo, Gustavo Henrique graduated with Santos' academy, and made his first team – and Série A – debut on 17 June 2012, in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo.[1] He scored his first goal on 24 July of the following year, in a 2–0 away win against CRAC for the season's Copa do Brasil.[2]

In mid-September 2013, Gustavo Henrique replaced Durval in the starting eleven, after the latter was deemed suplus to requirements.[3] He scored his first league goal on 27 October, in a 1–1 away draw against Corinthians.[4] Roughly a month later he scored his second, in a 2–2 away draw against Vasco da Gama.[5]

In late February 2014, Gustavo Henrique suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for six months.[6] He returned to action in October,[7] but was only selected on the bench in the remainder of the season.

Gustavo Henrique played his first match after his injury on 1 February 2015, starting in a 3–0 home win against Ituano.[8] In August, after the arrival of new manager Dorival Júnior, he was again first-choice after overtaking new signing Werley.[9]

On 29 February 2016, Gustavo Henrique renewed his contract until January 2020.[10]
