Do hoops need Silva lining?
Hoops manager Paulo Sousa will battle West Ham for the signature of highly rated Portuguese youngster Adrien Silva in January. Sporting Lisbon had hoped to hold onto the 19-year-old until the end of the season, but it now looks like a January move to England could be on the cards.Sousa is keen to boost his side for a real push at the Championship play-offs in the second half of the season and sees the highly rated Portuguese U21 defensive midfielder as ideal option.
And Silva said: "If here I do not have opportunities here and a better option comes up then I will look at them carefully."
