In his career, he played for Vitória de Guimarães (first team and reserves), West Ham United, Aris, Nottingham Forest, Dijon and Atlanta United.

Silva was a youth international for Portugal.

Club career

Vitória Guimarães

Born in Porto, Silva joined Vitória de Guimarães' academy at the age of 17 after a five-year spell at Sporting CP.[3] He started his senior career with the former's reserves, making his Segunda Liga debut on 17 August 2014 by coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away loss against Oliveirense.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition the following 18 January, helping the hosts beat Benfica B 4–1.[5]

Silva's first appearance in the Primeira Liga took place in the penultimate match of the season, and he played 11 minutes in a 0–0 home draw with Benfica after replacing Otávio.[6] His maiden league goal occurred on 7 December 2015, in a 3–1 home defeat of Rio Ave.[7]

West Ham United

Silva joined West Ham United for an undisclosed fee on 2 August 2018,[8] signing a three-year contract and being recruited initially for the under-23 team. He scored a four-minute hat-trick on his Premier League 2 debut 11 days later, against Tottenham Hotspur.[9][10]

Silva made his Premier League debut on 30 December 2018 in a 2–0 away defeat to Burnley, coming on as a second-half substitute for Marko Arnautović.[11] He missed the start of the 2019–20 season due to illness; rushed into hospital in Portugal, he underwent emergency bowel surgery from which he was recuperating.[12]

On 5 October 2020, Silva was loaned to Aris for the season.[13] He scored his first goal in the Super League Greece on 2 December, his individual effort capping the 3–0 win at AEL.[14]

Nottingham Forest

On 31 August 2021, Silva joined EFL Championship club Nottingham Forest on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[15] His maiden appearance took place on 15 September, when he replaced Lyle Taylor midway through the second half of an eventual 0–2 home loss against Middlesbrough.[16]

Dijon

On 2 August 2022, Silva signed a three-year contract with Dijon for an undisclosed fee.[17][18] He ranked second in his team in the scoring department at six (alongside Bryan Soumaré), but they were relegated from Ligue 2 after finishing third-bottom.[19][20]

Atlanta United

In August 2023, Silva was loaned to Atlanta United of Major League Soccer for the remainder of the campaign.[21] On 4 December, after starting in eight of his regular season appearances and scoring twice in the playoffs, a transfer option was exercised and he agreed to a two-year deal with the option of another year.[22]

International career

Silva was capped by Portugal at every youth level between under-15 and under-20. He was part of the under-17 squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2014 UEFA European Championship, and was named in the Team of the Tournament.[23]

Two years later, Silva helped the under-19 team to the semi-finals of the 2016 European Championship in Germany.[24] He was then selected by under-20 manager Emílio Peixe for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup,[25] where he scored in the quarter-final against Uruguay, which they lost after a penalty shootout.[26][10]

Personal life

Silva's father, Joaquim, was also a footballer. Also a forward, he spent most of his career in China and Portugal and represented the Angola national team.[27][28][29]
