Bernardo Silva

One of the most technically gifted midfielders in Portugal, Bernardo Silva is playing so well that he often keeps the more established Andre Gomes out of the Portugal starting XI.

He has caught the attention of various top teams in Europe after his incredible season with AS Monaco in the top tier of French football. Silva is not one of those overhyped youngsters but a talent that has the potential to be world class.

The highlight of Silva’s game is his dribbling skills and it is a joy to watch him when he is on the ball. He is excellent in one-on-one situations and often humiliates defenders as he gets past them with ease. His technique is sublime and he possesses excellent vision. Coupled with his good passing range, Silva has all the attributes to be a perfect creative midfielder.

With Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus all interested in the Monaco youngster, Bernardo Silva might well be plying his trade in one of Europe’s top clubs after the next transfer window.
