André Miguel Valente da Silva (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ̃ˈdɾɛ ˈsiwvɐ]; born 6 November 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a striker for FC Porto and the Portugal national team.
Silva was born in Baguim do Monte, a local parish in Gondomar, and started playing football with Porto-based S.C. Salgueiros. He had a brief spell with neighbouring Boavista FC, but quickly returned to his previous club, now renamed Salgueiros 08.
Silva finished his formation with FC Porto, having signed with the juniors in 2011 at the age of 15. On 12 August 2013, he made his professional debut, coming on as a 77th-minute substitute for Tozé as the B-team won 3–2 away against S.C. Beira-Mar for the Segunda Liga championship.
Silva finished his second season with 34 games and seven goals, helping Porto B to the 13th position in the second level. Highlights included a brace on 4 January 2015, for a 3–0 home success over Vitória de Guimarães B.
Silva made his competitive debut for the first team on 29 December 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 home loss against C.S. Marítimo for the Taça da Liga. His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga occurred four days later, as he replaced Vincent Aboubakar for the last 20 minutes in a 0–2 defeat at Sporting Clube de Portugal.
