Ex-Wolves No2 Silva says Man Utd, Liverpool target Pedro Goncalves destined to leave Sporting CP | OneFootball

Rui Pedro Silva is backing Sporting CP striker Pedro Goncalves for a big club move.

Pote has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona after his success with Sporting following his switch from Wolves.

Silva was assistant manager to Nuno at Wolves and said: "He stood out. He had excellent ball possession. He was always able to make space, without missing a pass. And he had that ability to finish. That goal was already visible. He passed the ball into the goal, that ability is his. Innate.

"(Ruben) Amorim found the ideal position for him. There, ahead, with space, and close by when he went to Famalicão, I even told João Pedro Sousa [coach at the time] that he could play in a midfield with three. We never saw Pedro's ability to be in a midfield with two.

"He has the quality to take on another type of team in the future."
