Bernardo Silva is Portugal's rising star following a fantastic domestic season with Man City

Position: Midfielder

Bernardo Silva will be buzzing with confidence on the road to Russia following a 50 million euros move from Ligue 1 side Monaco to record-breaking EPL champions Manchester City.

The forward was not a regular in Pep's side but impressed whenever he was called upon with an impressive six goals and four assists in 15 starts for the side including some stunning goals.

Portugal's rising star will be looking to perform big in Russia and help his team advance into the latter stages of the tournament as he possesses the skill and talent in him to do so.

There is no better platform for him to prove his worth on the world's biggest stage if he wants to be a constant face of Manchester City's new star-studded era.

Having missed out on Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph with an injury, Silva will be raring to make his name in Russia and is, without doubt, one of the key players for the dark horses.
