Joao Silva considers leaving
Joao Silva would consider leaving Everton if he was guaranteed regular first-team football, something he is yet to acheive for the Toffees.[LNB] The Portuguese youngster is yet to force his way into the senior set-up at Goodison Park.[LNB]He was snapped up from CD Alves last year and arrived in England with a glowing reputation.[LNB]The highly-rated striker is still waiting for his first-team bow, though, and took in a loan spell at Uniao Leiria last term.[LNB]With opportunities still limited with the Toffees, he has returned to Portugal again this season with Vitoria Setubal.[LNB]Silva is tied into a three-year deal at Everton, but claims he will look for a permanent move elsewhere if David Moyes continues to overlook him.[LNB]"I will consider leaving Everton if I receive assurances of first-team football elsewhere," he said.[LNB]"Everton are a big club but I need playing time and a club that has confidence in me and gives me opportunities."[LNB]Reports suggest Benfica are closely monitoring Silva's situation and could be tempted to make a move.
