Watch out, Sporting! Some insist Silas Andersen will light up Alvalade | OneFootball

Silas Andersen is very close to being officially announced as a Sporting signing and the reports coming from Sweden are giving Sporting fans plenty of reasons to smile. Sanna Sundberg, a journalist at Goteborgs-Posten, has no doubts about the impact the player could have at Alvalade.

"His greatest qualities are his physical ability and mentality. He grows when the pressure increases. The bigger the game, the better he tends to play. That is one of the reasons why I think he is ready for Sporting", she told newspaper JOGO.

Fredrik de Ron, from the website Fotboll Direkt, also paints a very positive picture of the Denmark under-21 international. "He is a modern midfielder with build-up ability who plays deeper. He is capable of standing out both as a traditional defensive midfielder and in a more advanced box-to-box role. He is one of the most technically gifted players I have seen in the Swedish league in his position", said the journalist.

But it is not only his sporting performances that attract attention. Silas Andersen is described as a rare personality in modern football. "He really is an eccentric personality. On the pitch, he is emotional, intense and never afraid to show what he feels. He can annoy opponents, fire up teammates and rally the fans. He loves the big occasions and never seems uncomfortable when the pressure is at its peak", explained Sanna Sundberg.

The Swedish journalist summed up what many feel about the midfielder. "He was the club’s big star and one of the standout players in the league. He is the kind of player you love when he is on your team and hate when he is playing against you", she concluded.
