#5 André Silva

Portugal v Switzerland - FIFA 2018 World Cup Qualifier
Andre Silva and his partnership with Ronaldo will serve Portugal well in Russia

Andre Silva has had a lukewarm season with AC Milan. He has played as a back-up to Patrick Cutrone for most of the season.

At his previous club FC Porto, Silva was on fine form. He notched up 24 goals in 58 appearances across all competitions. In his first season at Milan, he only managed to score 10 goals in 40 appearances.

The young Portuguese is on fire for his country. He has managed to score 12 goals in 23 appearances, scoring 9 in the qualifiers to the World Cup. Silva also has a good partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo and is capable of being the focal point of attack as well as playing as a second striker.

Silva's future is apparently undecided. Milan is yet to decide if they want to sell him. A few clubs are already circling the young striker, including the newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers. Maybe a good showing at the World Cup will help the young striker clear up his future.
