André Silva already away from Leipzig? They want him in the Premier League

Only a few years ago, after his unfortunate experience at Milan, André Silva’s name was back on everyone’s lips. Because in the Bundesliga, with the Eintracht Frankfurt shirt (between 2019 and 2021), the Portuguese had finally found the ideal environment to become that goalscorer that the Devil’s fans have never been able to admire (despite the almost 35 million euros paid at the Port). Forty-five goals and 15 assists in 71 appearances had rightly made him the number one desire of the ambitious Red Bull-branded Leipzig, who bought him for 23 million.

In Saxony, however, André Silva was unable to repeat himself and now, also closed by the explosion of the Slovenian Benjamin Sesko, he demands space. At the cost of changing the air and the championship, as already done last season with Real Sociedad. For this reason, at 29 years old, at the height of his sporting maturity, the Lusitanian center forward is tempting in the Premier League, in particular to two clubs that would be interested in him for a loan as early as January.

The first to step forward would have been Graham Potter’s West Ham, determined to patch up their attack after the recent injury of German Niclas Füllkrug, whose thigh problem was suffered during the match on 10 January against Aston Villa , now risks keeping him out for a good three months. Not only that, because since December, since the expert Michail Antonio (at the Hammers since 2015) was the victim of a serious road accident while driving his Ferrari, they will have to do without him for at least a year . And then there is Leicester under new manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy (on the bench since 29 November), who have not won in the Premier League since 3 December (against West Ham), and who now occupy the penultimate position in the table also due to one of the least brilliant advanced departments in the championship. To avoid relegation, the Foxes may need a hungry striker like André Silva. In search of space and redemption, in search of new stimuli that the Premier League knows how to give, but above all in search of goals (only one scored this season). Like when he played in Frankfurt and the goal seemed huge to him.
