His performances have caught the attention of Manchester United, who are said to be in the “very advanced” stages of negotiations for his services.
Da Silva will be out of contract next summer, and the Old Trafford club is currently attempting to buy out the final year of the player’s deal.
The French U16s international is said to be looking for the “best project” for his future, and he has eyes for Manchester United‘s youth setup over other interested parties.
If signed, Da Silva will add to the plethora of bright young talents currently emerging under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the Theatre of Dreams.
