Club career
Born in Belford Roxo, Rio de Janeiro, Gerson finished his formation with Fluminense.[1] On 28 August 2014 he was promoted to the main squad, being included in the club's 22-man list for that year's Copa Sudamericana.[2]

Gerson made his senior debut on 22 February 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Vasco for the Campeonato Carioca championship.[5] He scored his first goal for the club on 8 March, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Botafogo.[6] He appeared in 12 matches during the tournament, scoring four goals. Gerson made his Série A debut on 9 May 2015, starting in a 1–0 home win against Joinville.[7]
After being linked to several top European clubs in the winter of 2015–16, Gerson sealed a move to Italian club Roma on 4 January for around €15 million.

On 27 November 2014 Gerson was called up to the Brazil under-20's for the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship.[8] He made his debut for the side on 15 January 2015, starting in a 2–1 win against Chile,[9] and appeared in all matches during the tournament.
