West Ham United forward Xande Silva has impressed since arriving at the London Stadium.

Portugal's forward Xande Silva celebrates after scoring during their U-20 World Cup quarter-final football match between Portugal and Uruguay in Daejeon on June 4, 2017.

According to Football.London, West Ham United forward Xande Silva is set to be out for six weeks.

Silva was not in West Ham’s development squad last night, sparking suggestions from supporters that he could have been called up to the first team.

However, it seems that Silva is actually set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury.

The summer signing has impressed after scoring a hat-trick on his debut for West Ham’s under-21 side.

Silva is yet to make his senior debut at the London Stadium, but there are high hopes for his future.

The Portuguese striker appears to have adjusted to life in England well, and looks to be one of the brightest prospects in West Ham’s youth team.

If Silva does get called up to West Ham’s first-team in future, he will be in competition with the likes of Marko Arnautovic, Javier Hernandez and Michail Antonio for a starting place.
