According to reports from Bola Branca (translated by SportWitness), the player’s agent has revealed that Newcastle are keeping tabs on him.
“They (Newcastle) are one of those interested. Whatever happens, will happen. Now, the main focus is to be champion,” Antonio Araujo said.
Benitez certainly needs to add a quality winger to his side and Silva would be a superb addition.
The Benfica ace is highly rated in Portugal and his style of play could prove to be very effective in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old is blessed with abundant flair and he will add some unpredictability to Newcastle’s attack.
