FIFA World Cup 2018: 5 players who may rise to stardom

Sweden v Netherlands - 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

#3 Andre Silva (Portugal)

AC Milan v Austria Wien - UEFA Europa League
Silva moved to AC Milan in the summer

Forward Andre Silva is regarded as being the next big thing for The Selecao and it’s quite easy to see why. The 22-year-old, who plays his club football for AC Milan, only made his debut for Portugal back in 2016 but has already hit 11 goals in 18 caps for the side.

He’s a confident striker who knows how to finish chances and is seen as the heir to Ronaldo’s throne by fans of the national team as he has the potential to be simply incredible.

Portugal will be fancied to progress from their group but ties against Denmark and Spain could prove to be tricky. Silva will be their main focal point up front with Ronaldo and any out of Nani, Bruma or Ricardo Quaresma out wide on the wings alongside him.
