Cristian Alex da Silva Santos (born 1 December 1993) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Club career Having started his career with Cruzeiro, Cristian joined Thai side Phuket in 2013, following an agreement between the two clubs. After an impressive 18 goals in 40 games, he transferred to Portuguese side Marítimo in early 2015.
