Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva this summer.
This comes after it was reported by 90min that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are ‘on the hunt for big names to take them to the next level’.
The report also claims that Wolves see the Brazilian as ‘the kind of player for the job as he comes with plenty of top-level experience in both domestic leagues and the Champions League’.
Thiago Silva, 35, is currently valued at £4.32 million, according to Transfermarkt.
Throughout his club career, Silva has made a total of 505 appearances playing for PSG, AC Milan and Fluminense (per Transfermarkt).
Would you take Thiago Silva at Wolves this summer?
Yes
No
In the Champions League, Silva has made a total of 77 appearances throughout his career, while he has won a plethora of trophies and titles – with the majority coming from his time at PSG (per Transfermarkt).
This season, in particular, has seen the defender make 21 appearances in Ligue 1, which have resulted in Silva being awarded an average match rating of 6.97/10, making him the 13th-highest rated player for his performances in the campaign (per WhoScored).
TIF Thoughts…
As mentioned in the report, Silva certainly has a lot of club experience at a consistently high level behind him.
According to WhoScored, one of Silva’s main strengths includes his passing abilities.
This could make him a good fit for Wolves, as one of their common styles of play includes playing in their own half (per WhoScored).
Whether Wolves will make the decision that Silva is who they need to advance as a club going forward and aiming for glory is yet to be seen.
