The Portuguese midfielder has been playing for the National Team since 2015 and has made 36 appearances thus far. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he featured in all 4 matches with Portugal but was knocked out of the tournament following a 2-1 loss to Uruguay.

The 24-year-old has been playing for the English club Manchester City since 2017 and has been a vital member for Pep Guardiola's side that won back-to-back Premier League titles. He made 47 appearances for the City this season and found the back of the net on 13 occasions.

Silva is a versatile player who can be deployed in any attacking position. Such versatility makes him an easy pick for any coach and he becomes a vital part of the team's attacking lineup.

After winning the domestic treble with Manchester City, Silva will be looking forward to winning silverware with his national side when Portugal take on Switzerland in the semi-final of the Nations League.
