Bournemouth Sign Defender Silva from Benfica Bournemouth has made a significant splash in the transfer market by signing Antonio Silva from Benfica for up to £25. 7m.
The 22 year old defender, who recently played for Portugal's national team in major tournaments including the World Cup and Euros, joins the Cherries after a successful stint with his Portuguese club.
At first glance, this move seems like a straightforward replacement for Marcos Senesi, who left Bournemouth over the summer.
