Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Antonio Silva from Portuguese club Benfica at the end of the season.
The 19-year-old has been a key player for the Portuguese outfit this season and he has helped them stay organised at the back throughout the season.
As per 90min, Silva has caught the attention of a number of European clubs with his performances and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can fend off the competition and secure his signature at the end of the season.
The 19-year-old defender is highly rated around Europe and he has the potential to develop into a world-class centre-back.
Tottenham will have to find a reliable partner for Cristian Romero and the 19-year-old could be a solid long-term investment for them.
Although he will need time to adapt to the Premier League, he has the ability to succeed in English football and establish himself as a key player for Tottenham.
Working with a manager like Antonio Conte will only help him develop further.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure a place in the Champions League next season. If they manage to finish in the top four, they could be an attractive destination for talented young players like Silva. The 19-year-old has a €100 million release clause in his contract and therefore he could be a costly acquisition for the London club.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can negotiate a more reasonable fee for the youngster with Benfica.
