Perspective
Benfica
Born in Amadora, Lisbon metropolitan area of Cape Verdean descent,[2] Tavares played youth football with three clubs in the country's capital, including Sporting CP from ages 10 to 18.[3] He made his senior debut with S.L. Benfica's reserves on 6 August 2016, featuring 71 minutes in the 1–1 LigaPro home draw against C.D. Cova da Piedade.[4]
Tavares scored a career-best 14 goals in the 2017–18 season, but the B team could only finish in 13th position.[3] Highlights included braces in home victories over Varzim SC (2–1),[5] Real Massamá (3–0)[6] and C.F. União (2–1).[7]
On 25 July 2018, Tavares was loaned to Moreirense FC.[8] He played his first match in the Primeira Liga on 12 August, scoring in a 1–3 home loss to Sporting and also committing a penalty which resulted in the opposition's second goal.[9] He repeated the feat the following round, helping to a 2–1 away defeat of C.D. Nacional.[10]
For the 2019–20 campaign, Tavares signed with Boavista F.C. also on loan.[11][12]
Brest
Tavares moved to the French Ligue 1 on 2 August 2020, signing a four-year contract with Stade Brestois 29 on a free transfer.[13] He made his league debut 21 days later, playing 22 minutes in the 4–0 loss at Nîmes Olympique.[14]
Famalicão
On 11 January 2021, Tavares was loaned to F.C. Famalicão until 30 June.[15] He was bought outright in July, fracturing his left foot in December and being sidelined for three months.[16]
On 31 August 2022, Tavares was loaned to Spanish side SD Ponferradina for one year.[17]
Estoril
Tavares returned to Portugal and its top division in July 2023, on a three-year deal at G.D. Estoril Praia.[18] He totalled 41 games and four goals in his only season,[19] his first in the league coming on 10 December to close the 4–0 home win over G.D. Chaves.[20]
International career
Across all youth levels, Tavares won 20 caps for Portugal and scored seven goals. He made his under-21 debut on 14 November 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Diogo Jota in a 2–1 home win against Switzerland for the 2019 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[21] The following 11 October, in the same stage, he netted four times in the 9–0 demolition of Liechtenstein.[22]
