Francisco Jorge Tavares Oliveira (born 5 February 2000), known as Chiquinho, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Primeira Liga club Alverca.
Born in Cascais, Lisbon District, Chiquinho spent nearly one decade at the youth system of local Sporting CP. In 2019 he signed with neighbouring G.D. Estoril Praia, making his Liga Portugal 2 debut on 18 January 2020 in a 1âÂÂ0 home win against Académica de Coimbra where he came on as a 60th-minute substitute. He scored his first goal as a professional the following month, in the 4âÂÂ1 victory over Casa Pia A.C. also at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota.
In the 2020âÂÂ21 season, Chiquinho played 13 games to help the club return to the Primeira Liga as champions. He made his first appearance in the competition on 7 August 2021, starting a 2âÂÂ0 away defeat of F.C. Arouca. His first goal came later that month, when he closed the 2âÂÂ1 home win over C.S. MarÃÂtimo.
On 17 January 2022, Chiquinho joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-and-a-half-year contract, for a reported fee of ã2.9 million that could potentially rise to ã4.2 million with add-ons. He made his debut on 5 February, which coincidentally was his 22nd birthday, replacing Leander Dendoncker late into a 1âÂÂ0 home loss against Norwich City in the round of 32 of the FA Cup. His Premier League bow took place five days later, against Arsenal and again off the bench, in another defeat at Molineux Stadium by that scoreline. He claimed his first assist on 10 March, setting up Rúben Neves for the fourth goal in the 4âÂÂ0 home rout of Watford.
Chiquinho suffered a serious knee injury in a pre-season friendly with Burnley in July 2022. In summer 2023, he joined EFL Championship side Stoke City on loan for the season. However, he was recalled after only playing four matches, and shortly after moved to F.C. Famalicão in his country's top division also on loan.
On 30 August 2024, Chiquinho moved to La Liga club RCD Mallorca on a one-year loan.
Chiquinho returned to the Portuguese top division on 9 July 2025, signing a three-year deal with newly promoted F.C. Alverca. Shortly after his arrival, a calf injury sidelined him for several months.
Chiquinho made his Portugal under-21 debut on 12 November 2021, replacing Fábio Silva in the second half of the 1âÂÂ0 win in Cyprus in the 2023 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.
