Leicester City are reportedly eyeing summer swoops for the Benfica duo.
According to Portuguese media outlet O Jogo, the Foxes sent scouts to watch Benfica pair Rafa Silva and André Almeida in action on Saturday evening, during their 4-0 win over Boavista in the Primeira Division.
Leicester currently sit in eighth spot in the Premier League table, and seventh position is realistically as high as they can finish, with 10 points separating themselves and sixth placed Arsenal.
That could be enough to earn Europa League football next season, though, if one of the clubs above them in the table wins either of the domestic cup competitions.
With this in mind, Claude Puel will surely be looking to bolster his ranks at the King Power Stadium, in preparation for what could be an extremely hectic fixture schedule next term.
O Jogo claim that the Frenchman has identified Silva and Almeida as two of his key targets for the summer, and sent scouts to watch them in action for Benfica on Saturday.
Silva, 24, is a winger by trade, and would provide the Foxes with more competition in the attacking wide areas.
Almeida, meanwhile, is a right-back, and would provide stiff competition for Danny Simpson next season.
