Adrien Sébastien Perruchet Silva, commonly known as Adrien Silva (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈadɾĩn 'siɫvə]) or Adrien; born 15 March 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a central midfielder.
He played mostly for Sporting since making his first-team debut at the age of 18, and was loaned to Maccabi Haifa and Académica, winning the Taça de Portugal with the latter in addition to the same honour at Sporting.
Known for his dribbling and passing qualities, Silva gained 46 caps for Portugal all youth categories comprised, including 13 for the under-21 team. He made his senior debut in 2014, and represented the nation at Euro 2016, winning the tournament.
Silva was born in Angoulême, Poitou-Charentes, France, to a Portuguese father and a French mother. He began his football career at the age of 10 with FC Girondins de Bordeaux, but after one year there his father, who worked in aeronautics, returned to Portugal and the family settled in Arcos de Valdevez, and he spent two seasons with local Associação Recreativa e Cultural de Paçô who eventually came to host a tournament in his honour called Torneio A.R.C.Paçô–Adrien Silva (English: A.R.C.Paçô–Adrien Silva Tournament), held every June.
