The perfect modern day striker

One of his best assets as a forward is his ability to not only score goals but also to take part in the buildup.

Andre Silva, much like Kasper Dolberg of Ajax, is a modern striker, who loves to track back and pick up balls from deeper positions. His great ball carrying ability allows him to carry the ball even around tight spaces.

He is not afraid to come out of his comfort zone and act as a creative spark in deeper areas of the pitch. The 22-year-old is quite comfortable in possession and also has the ability to circulate the ball in the final third of the pitch.

His previous experiences in the youth teams, where he often used to play as a midfielder, definitely help him to act like a false nine or even a false ten at times. In addition, he can also shift into the wings, where his pace becomes quite useful.

All in all, Andre Silva epitomizes the role of a modern striker, which makes him a unique composition in the final third.
