Wesley França Lima was born on the 6th of September, 2003 in Brazil. This makes him a youthful 21 years old. He currently spearheads the defensive backbone of Roma, predominantly positioning himself as a right back. Standing at 5ft 8in tall, or 1.73m if metric is your preference, Wesley isn't towering over his competition. However, football isn't about height alone. He also carries with him a weight of 10st 9lb, or a robust 68kg for the metrically-inclined.
Wesley clearly impacts the pitch, wearing the number 43 on his jersey. Akin to his skill and potential, his current market value hovers around a sizeable £17.5m, as per the data provided by Transfermarkt.
In January of 2021, Wesley made a noticeable jump in his football career, transitioning from Tubarão's Série C in Brazil to Flamengo in the Série A, also in Brazil. The nitty-gritty of the transfer fee being undisclosed, one can only assume it was a momentous occasion for both teams involved.
During his debut season with Flamengo in 2021, he made a mere single appearance in the first team for league matches. However, it seems the ice was broken, as he played 35 matches for the first team in the subsequent 2023 season, even managing to score a goal. He made 31 first team appearances in the 2024 season and in the current 2025 season, Wesley has already played 11 times in the first team, hitting the back of the net once.
July of 2025 brought another pivotal movement in Wesley's career, as he was transferred to Roma in Italy's Serie A, for an astounding fee of £22m. Thus far, in the ongoing 2025-2026 season, 'Wesley' França Lima has graced the pitch twice in league matches and already tucked one goal under his belt.
