André Silva

I have a soft spot for André Silva, the kind of striker whose career is measured in goals rather than headlines. A Gondomar boy shaped by Porto's academy, he repaid the club with 24 goals before earning his Milan move, and at 185cm he is built to occupy a penalty box. The Milan chapter never quite caught fire, yet here he is at Elche, still chasing the next finish. I admire that quiet persistence. The glamour transfers may have faded, but a number nine who keeps grinding for goals across leagues is exactly the kind of footballer I respect most.
