Wanderson de Jesus Martins (born 17 July 1995), commonly known as Caju, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Aris Limassol, on loan from Braga as a left-back.

Club Career

Santos

Born in Irece, Bahia, Caju graduated from Santos's youth setup, and was promoted to the first-team in September 2014, profiting from the departure of Emerson Palmieri to Palermo and from Eugenio Mena's injury. He stands as the only player who graduated from Peixe Academy 100% owned by the club since 2010.

On 21 September 2014 Caju made his first-team – and Serie A – debut, starting in a 3-1 home win against Figueirense. He overtook Mena and Ze Carlos during the latter stages of the campaign, appearing in 11 matches.

On 10 March 2015, after being linked to Udinese and Barcelona, Caju renewed with Peixe, signing until 2019. He spent the campaign as a backup to Zeca. In 2016, as the latter was representing the Brazil under-23s in the Summer Olympics, Caju was made a starter by manager Dorival Junior, earning plaudits for his performances.

On 15 July 2017, Caju was loaned to French Ligue 1 side Lille for a fee of €500,000, with an obligatory 4 million buyout clause after 15 matches. In September, however, after failing his medical, he returned to his parent club.

APOEL (loan)

On 22 May 2018, Cypriot side APOEL announced an agreement in principle for the signing of Caju, signing a one-year loan deal with a buyout clause.

Braga

On 23 July 2019, Caju signed a four-year contract with Primeira Liga side Braga.
