Japanese translation:ティエヴィ
Explanation:
The footballer is simply known as ティエヴィ in Japan and he has been featured in several football news. In Japan, usually foreign footballers are called by their family name such as メッシ or ルーニー and you may not need to translate his family name if you are translating football news articles. Or you may translate like 'Koulossa Thievy (ティエヴィ)', which is the way commonly used in football news. I am a big European football fan, btw!

That's right. He once scored a hat trick against Barca B in 2010! There is a clear reference of 'FWティエヴィ・ビフマ' in an article so I give a nod to all your points!
