'Ageu' Almeida Santos, commonly known as Ageu, was born on the 20th of February, 2002 in Brazil. At the age of 23, the Brazilian midfielder is prominent as a central midfielder for Hearts. Exceptionally athletic, he stands 5 feet 11 inches (1.81 metres) tall and weighs 165 pounds (75 kilograms).
Ageu's proficiency on the field is reflected in his considerable market value. Currently, it is estimated to be approximately €800,000. For those interested in the exact figures, the source is Transfermarkt, which would put the value in the ballpark of around £680,000.
Ageu's career has been characterised by a series of tactical transfers. In January 2023, he joined Santa Clara in the Liga Portugal in Portugal for an undisclosed fee. The same year saw Ageu being loaned to B-SAD in Portugal's Segunda Divisão from Santa Clara.
Upon the expiration of his loan, Ageu returned to Santa Clara in July 2023. However, in July 2024, he was once again transferred on loan, but this time to Alverca in the Liga Portugal. He returned to Santa Clara following the completion of his loan in June 2025.
Ageu's most recent relocation in August 2025 marked a significant transition, as he moved the base from Portugal's Santa Clara to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. The player cost Hearts approximately £1.8 million, a testament to his worth on the footballing stage.
