Club career
D'Avilla began his career in the Ivory Coast with Stella Club d'Adjamé, going on loan to Lanfiara Sport Attécoué. After a year in the UAE with Al-Hilal United, he transferred to Portuguese side União de Leiria, where he played for three years as well as spending time on loan with Académica. In January 2025, D'Avilla had various reports linking him with a move to EFL Championship side Leeds United in a €4 million move, but the deal never materialised.[1][2][3][4] On 1 April 2025, D'Avilla signed a four-year deal with Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire for an undisclosed fee.[5][6][7][8][9]
