Rafa Silva

[Hoopspur]

Portugese winger come AMF. Looked at a youtube and he looks ok of course. Has every chance of being the 'new Lamela' though instead of the 'new Hazard'! I guess the reason he isn't the 'new Ronaldo' is that he doesn't score enough goals (yet)?

We were linked to him when he was in the second division I think. Seems to be doing well for Braga. Along with us, Liverpool, Southampton, Everton and most tellingly Benfica have been linked to him. The fact Portugal took him to the World Cup would suggest he's got a bright future ahead of him.

He's a good little player but he's far from been the next Hazard.. no where close & he's very lightweight I'd have doubts about him cutting it in PL maybe he could if he worked on his core strength. If there scouting Braga players they should target Danilo Barbosa instead he could end up been a top class player

I agree with whitelanefever, although he is very quick and a great with the ball at his feet, his end product and shooting is a little poor, in addition to that, he is a little weak and would potentially be another lamela..

As much as I would love to have another Rafa at the club, for me, our wide forward in the summer should be either Depay, H.M.Son, Kono or J-PB... In that order (although I would take any of them at Spurs)

Tom Collomosse has reiterated our interest in him along with Eduardo Salvio and Anderson Talisca.
