The AC Milan striker has been linked with Everton.
It has been clear that Everton have needed a standout striker since the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United last summer and the Toffees could now be set to address that issue.
As reported by Calcio Mercato, Everton are interested in signing AC Milan striker Andre Silva, who is valued at £33.7 million.
Having sold Lukaku for £75 million, as reported by The Mirror, Everton now have the opportunity to bring in a talented replacement for a considerably smaller sum.
At the age of 22, Silva has much time on his side to improve even further, and the Portugal international made a major impact at Porto as he scored 24 times in 58 appearances.
Silva has been used sparingly in Serie A by Milan this season but he has made a tremendous impact in the Europa League as he has scored six times in as many appearances in that competition.
Signing Silva would give Everton an extra dimension in attack and would certainly represent a significant step forwards as they look to finally bring in a player who is capable of replicating the impact that Lukaku made at Goodison Park.
