According tothe SunItalian giants Juventus also had scouts watching the forward as the Portuguese striker has been getting a lot of attention this yearafter an explosive start to the seasonfrom the youngster who has scored nine times in the Liga NOS and three times in Europe for Porto sofar this season.

Portugal won Euro 2016 without a recognized striker in their starting XI, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani paired upfront despite the two beingpredominatelywingers so Silva is the mostlikely man to lead the line for the European outfit and take the international stage by storm.
He is the youngster player to ever get a hattrick for Portugal, an 88-year record which footballing icons Ronaldo and Eusebio could not break and the youngster is now costing £53m despite only reportedly costing £22m in the summer and with Jorge Mendes now representing him he won't come cheap to any club that decides to cash in on the Porto striker.
If a club does look to buy him his valuation will be increasing by the weeks as he isn't dropping in form any time soon, just misfiring in three games in his last ten and scoring two braces and one hattrick in that period of time, so the current £53m valuation could just keep on increasing as that January window opens.
