Portugal boss Roberto Martínez has made it known that he has had his eyes on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Fábio Silva for quite some time.
Following Portugal’s impressive 5-1 victory over Poland in the UEFA Nations League on Friday, Martínez addressed the media about the young striker, emphasizing Silva’s talent and potential.
While Silva is yet to debut for Portugal’s senior team, he earned a late call-up to the national side due to injuries to other forwards. After a loan spell with Rangers last season, the 22-year-old joined UD Las Palmas in the summer transfer window, where he has been making waves with three goals and one assist in nine appearances.
Under the guidance of manager Diego Martínez, Silva’s performances have been on the rise, leading to praise as a ‘revelation’ at the Spanish club. Martínez and his staff have been closely monitoring Silva’s progress, commending his decision to seek a new challenge and showcasing his improved impact and numbers on the field.
Speaking about Silva’s development, Martínez highlighted his exceptional movement, space creation, and goal-scoring prowess, acknowledging his hard work and expressing that Silva has rightfully earned his place at the top level.
