Who Is This Portuguese International That Tottenham Are Chasing And Why He Could Be A Good Addition To The Line Up?

Tottenham started their 2016-2017 Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw at the Goodison Park against Everton. Ross Barkley put the host ahead early in the first half but Lamela saved the day for Spurs with an equaliser in the 59th minute. Although Pochettino already had a talented squad at his disposal, the fact that he has made only two signings this summer isn’t seeming to go down well with the fans. Only Victor Wanyama and Vincent Janssen have arrived at the White Hart Lane this summer. With the added pressure of Champions League Pochettino will need a large squad to deal with the added fixtures.

Even with the arrival of Victor Wanyama, Tottenham could do with one more player in the central midfield player, given that Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb are currently very close to an exit. Dier, Dembele, and Wanyama will be the remaining three central midfielders, therefore a new signing in that region will not come as a surprise

 One player who has recently been linked with Tottenham is Portugal midfielder, Adrien Silva. The Sporting Lisbon was part of the Portuguese national team that won the European Championship recently.
 There are reports mentioning the interest of Everton and AC Milan in Silva. The performance against Everton exposed some of the missing links in the Tottenham, that the Argentine manager must work on in the coming day if he is going to better his team’s performance from last year.
With just two players arriving this summer, fans will be hoping for at least one or two more players to arrive before the transfer window slams shut. Silva enjoyed a stellar campaign in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last year, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists. He was a key part of the Sporting squad that narrowly missed out on the title.

Although not that big in stature, the Portuguese is gifted with amazing balance, along with exemplary work ethics. He has a very good eye for a defense splitting passes that are so crucial today’s day and age of counter attacking.

Although Silva is 27 years of age, which is exactly not the prime of his career but still he will offer a lot of quality and experience to whichever team he decides to move to. The shift to the Premier League will not be easy but with Pochettino guidance, he could fit in seamlessly.

Dier and Wanyama are both defensive minded midfielder, therefore Tottenham should grasp this opportunity of getting Silva from Portugal. He will definitely add more creativity to the game going forward.
