Club career Vasco da Gama Born in Jotaesse, Tupãssi, Paraná, Kayzer moved to São Vicente, São Paulo at early age and started his career with Santos' youth setup. He subsequently represented Desportivo Brasil and Vasco da Gama, finishing his formation with the latter in 2015.
Kayzer made his first team – and Série A – debut for Vasco on 16 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Serginho in a 2–2 away draw against Cruzeiro. He only appeared in two further matches during the campaign, both as a substitute.
On 26 February 2016, Kayzer was loaned to Oeste until the end of the year. On 24 May, after featuring rarely, he moved to Série C side Portuguesa also in a temporary deal, but again featured sparingly.
Kayzer subsequently represented Villa Nova, Ferroviária and Tupi on loan, impressing with the latter in the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro.
Cruzeiro On 9 April 2018, Kayzer signed for Cruzeiro and was immediately loaned to Atlético Goianiense in the Série B. He was a regular starter for the side, scoring seven goals and narrowly missing out promotion.
Kayzer returned to Raposa for the 2019 season; initially assigned to the first team, he was rarely used and subsequently moved out on loan to Ponte Preta. A subsequent loan move to Chapecoense followed, where he featured sparingly as the club suffered relegation.
On 29 December 2019, Kayzer returned to Atlético Goianiense, also on loan, with the side now in the top tier.
Athletico Paranaense On 25 September 2020, Kayzer joined Athletico Paranaense on a permanent three-year deal after a long series of loan spells. He scored a career-best 11 goals in the 2020 Série A (including three goals with Atlético Goianiense), and added a further six in the following tournament.
Fortaleza On 8 February 2022, Kayzer signed for Fortaleza on a permanent deal. After being rarely used, he joined Daejeon Hana Citizen in South Korea on a six-month loan deal on 17 July.
Kayzed suffered an Achilles tendon rupture in October 2022, which kept him sidelined for 11 months. He moved to América Mineiro on loan on 2 August 2023, but only played in three matches as the club suffered relegation.
On 4 January 2024, Kayzer was announced as an addition of newly-promoted side Criciúma on a one-year loan deal. He was a regular starter as the club won the year's Campeonato Catarinense, and scored the first goal of the 2024 Série A before being recalled by Fortaleza on 13 April.
