Club career

edit

Early career

edit

Silva was born in Melres, Gondomar, Porto District. He started his senior career in the third division, with Sousense and Espinho.[3][4]

On 7 July 2020, Silva signed a three-year contract with LigaPro club Leixões.[5] He made his professional debut on 13 September, starting in a 2–2 home draw against Casa Pia.[6] His first goals came on 16 October, a brace in the 3–1 win over Varzim also at the Estádio do Mar.[7]

Casa Pia

edit

Late in the 2021 January transfer window, Silva joined Casa Pia of the same league until June 2023 after severing his ties to Leixões.[8] In the 2021–22 season, he scored 11 times to help his team return to the Primeira Liga after 83 years,[9][10] being included in the Team of the Year in the process.[11]

Vitória Guimarães

edit

On 1 June 2022, Silva agreed to a three-year deal with Vitória de Guimarães on a free transfer.[12] The following day, Casa Pia claimed that he was under contract with them until 2023, rejecting its termination and considering legal action against Vitória;[13] a settlement was eventually reached, with the latter paying the former €190,000 for 50% of his economic rights while also reserving another 20% for a fee of €100,000.[14]

Silva's top-flight debut took place on 7 August 2022, in a 1–0 away defeat of Chaves.[15] He scored his first goal 14 days later, in the 2–1 loss at Portimonense.[16] He also found the net in the reverse fixture between the sides, a 1–0 home victory.[17]

On 27 July 2023, Silva scored his first goal in Europe, in a 4–3 victory over Celje in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.[18] The following March, he netted in five consecutive matches, leading him to be named both the league's Player and Forward of the Month.[19][20] He scored 15 times in all competitions during the campaign, adding seven assists[21] in a Conference League qualification.[22]

Nottingham Forest

edit

On 1 August 2024, Silva signed a four-year contract with Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed transfer fee,[23] reported to be €7 million.[24] He made his Premier League debut on 24 August, as an injury-time substitute in the 1–0 win at Southampton.[25] In his first start, four days later, he scored in a 1–1 home draw against Newcastle United in the second round of the EFL Cup, in an eventual penalty shootout loss.[26]

International career

edit

Silva was never capped by Portugal at any youth level.[27] On 15 March 2024, he was called to the senior squad by manager Roberto Martínez for friendlies with Sweden and Slovenia.[28] He made his debut six days later against the former, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Matheus Nunes in a 5–2 win in Guimarães.[29]
