BIOGRAPHY
Playing for Arouca in the Primeira Liga, David Simão continues to build on a solid professional career. Born in Versailles, France, he carries the footballing culture of his homeland into every match he plays. His 183 cm, 80 kg build makes him a powerful midfielder capable of holding his own in any physical contest. A complete midfielder, he is equally comfortable winning the ball back and launching attacks with precision. His arrival at AEK Athens FC in 2019 for € 400K was a statement of intent from a club with serious ambitions. A winner at the highest level, he has lifted Taça de Portugal, State Cup, proving his ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. As the 2025/2026 season progresses, he continues to represent Arouca with dedication and professionalism. A player of character and quality, he stands out as one of the most compelling profiles in the Primeira Liga this season.
