West Ham United should consider a move for the AC Milan ace.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini has been heavily active during the transfer window this summer, and Hammers fans are heading into the new Premier League campaign with a renewed sense of optimism that has been missing from the club for quite some time.
One particular area where the Chilean is still yet to bolster is his centre-forward department, however, and with this in mind, he should consider a move for AC Milan hitman Andre Silva.
According to a report from Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, the Serie A giants are willing to sell the Portuguese striker for around €31 million (£27.6 million) this summer, and that would represent excellent value for money for West Ham.
Silva, 22, joined Milan last summer from Porto, but he has struggled to live up to expectations.
That is not to say that he doesn’t still have a lot to offer at the very highest level, however,
Standing at just over 6ft tall, the Portugal international is strong in the air, and he also possesses excellent movement in and around the 18 yard box.
Despite his recent struggles, Silva still has outstanding potential, and the opportunity to pick him up for the reported fee of just £27.6 million is one that is surely good to turn down in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market.
The Portuguese hitman could very well go on to become one of the continent’s best, and Pellegrini should not hesitate to bring him to West Ham this summer.
