Fábio Silva’s struggles at Wolverhampton Wanderers saw him go out on loan to Anderlecht last summer.
The forward’s stay in Belgium was cut short in January despite scoring 11 goals and registering four assists from 32 matches in all competitions this season.
Last month, Wolves allowed the 20-year-old to join PSV Eindhoven on a loan until the end of this season and he has hit the ground running, managing three goals and an assist from seven games.
Soccernews.nl has a report on the Portugal U21 international, where they stress he can become successful in an attacking team.
Ruud van Nistelrooy started the Wolves owned player on the left wing in his side’s 3-1 win over FC Twente.
Although Silva’s a slower than Xavi Simons, he made a key contribution in the box at the weekend, also in bringing his teammates into the right positions.
The website analyses Silva’s impact while operating up front and on the wing. They add the versatile attacker can become an ‘extra weapon’ for PSV, not when he receives the ball, but when he releases it to find his teammate and also for his positioning.
PSV took the Portuguese on loan without any option to buy, and his contract at Wolves is until 2026, where he is valued at €13m, which is a lot of the Dutch club.
The hope is that they could ‘attract him’ to join them permanently in the summer if they were to qualify for the Champions League next season, which would grant them more money to spend in the process.
Van Nistelrooy’s side are fourth in the table, trailing second place Ajax by three points. PSV need a top two finish to have hope of playing in the Champions League next season.
