SIlva will lead the line for Portugal

Prolific in Porto B last season, Andre Silva made the step-up to Porto’s first team this season – of which he certainly didn’t disappoint.

With 16 Primeira Liga goals in 28 games, Silva finished second in the scoring charts behind Sporting CP’s Bas Dost. Earning his first international cap in 2016, Silva has gone on to score six goals in seven games under Fernando Santos in the national side.

Arguably since Pauleta, Portugal finally have a forward they can rely on who will get them the goals. Not only is Silva able to play as the No. 9, but the 21-year-old can also play just behind the forward, or on either flank – all whilst remaining prolific.
