After standing out in Flu's youth sides, he quickly rose to the first team, but fell out of favor within the club, after not being sought as one of the biggest recent promises from Flu youth sides.

Evanilson made his Série A debut on 7 November 2019, replacing fellow youth graduate Marcos Paulo in a 2–0 away win against São Paulo.

On 8 December, in his first start for the club, he scored a brace in a 2–1 away defeat of Corinthians.

Evanilson became a regular starter for Flu in the 2020 campaign, partnering with Marcos Paulo up front.

On 7 September 2020, Evanilson signed a five-year contract with Portuguese club Porto, in a transfer worth €8,8 million, with Fluminense receiving 30% of the fee which should be paid to Tombense, plus a 6% profit on a future sale.

He made his debut for the club on 24 October, scoring the winning goal in a 1–0 home win against Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga.

The following months, after finding limited first team opportunities, Evanilson dropped into Porto's reserve team in LigaPro, in order to earn a place in the first team under manager Sérgio Conceição, following an advice from team-mate Otávio.

After scoring six goals in five matches for Porto's B team, Evanilson began earning a spot in the first team on 30 October 2021, scoring a brace in a 4–1 home win against local rivals Boavista in the Derby da Invicta.

On 23 December, Evanilson scored a brace in a 3–0 win over rivals Benfica in the Taça de Portugal, before being sent off in the process, which forced him to miss the following match against the same opposition in the Primeira Liga.
