Erik Nascimento Lima (born 18 July 1994), known as Erik Lima or simply Erik, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Palmeiras as a forward.

Club career

Goiás

Born in Novo Repartimento, Pará, Erik joined Goiás's youth setup in 2004, aged 10, after impressing on a trial when visiting family in Goiânia.[1] In February 2013, after impressing with the under-20s in Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was promoted to the main squad.

On 7 March 2013 Erik renewed his link with the Esmeraldino, signing until December 2016.[2] He made his senior debut on the 27th, coming on as a second-half substitute for David in a 2–0 home win against CRAC for the Campeonato Goiano championship;[3] he appeared in only one further match in the competition, as his side finished second.

On 7 July 2013 Erik made his Série A debut, starting in a 1–0 home win against Vitória.[4] He only appeared rarely during the campaign, with his side finishing in an unexpected sixth position.

Erik scored his first goal as a senior on 26 February 2014, netting the first in a 2–1 home win against Anápolis.[5] He subsequently overtook veteran Araújo and Rychely during the year.

Erik started the first league game of the campaign, a 1–0 away win against Atlético Mineiro on 4 May.[6] He scored his first goal in the competition on the 23rd, netting the last in a 2–2 home draw against Santos,[7] and subsequently was an ever-present figure for the club, scoring a hat-trick against Atlético Paranaense on 31 August,[8] and also adding braces against Bahia[9] and Chapecoense.[10] After finishing the campaign with 12 goals, he was named Best Newcomer.[11]

After being strongly linked to a move,[12] Erik remained with Goiás for 2015. In the year's Goiano he scored two braces, against Atlético Goianiense and Grêmio Anápolis, as his team won the state title.[13][14] In the year's national tournament, Erik recorded 10 goals from 26 games, including two-goal hauls in 3–0 wins over São Paulo FC, Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama and Joinville Esporte Clube in the middle of the campaign; the latter two teams were relegated alongside Goiás.[15][16][17]

Palmeiras

Amid interest from Turkey's Fenerbahçe S.K.,[18] Erik signed a five-year contract for Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras on 23 December 2015; the Verdão purchased 60% of his economic rights for a fee of €3 million.[19]

He made his debut on 19 January in the first match of the new Campeonato Paulista season, replacing Gabriel Jesus for the final 16 minutes of a 2–0 win at Botafogo Futebol Clube.[20] Regularly a substitute, he did not score in his first campaign.

International career

On 8 May 2013 Erik was called up to Brazil under-20 team, for the year's Toulon Tournament.[21] A backup to Giovanni and Vinícius Araújo, he only appeared against Nigeria on 4 June, scoring the first in a 1–1 draw; his side was eventually crowned champions shortly after.[22]

On 6 March 2015 Erik was called up to the under-23s,[23] making his debut in a 4–1 home routing over Paraguay on 27 March.[24]
