Following lengthy negotiations and final medical checks, Rafa Silva has completed a transfer to Sl Benfica from Besiktas. The forward is now fully registered and eligible for selection for his new team. It's a statement signing for Sl Benfica, who have moved quickly to finalise the deal ahead of the close of the window, with fans salivating at the thought of seeing their new signing in a Sl Benfica shirt. No other teams were seriously connected with the player, leaving Sl Benfica free to complete the transfer at their own pace. At 2.12 goals scored per game this season, Sl Benfica already pose a big threat. Rafa Silva would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Besiktas have also been linked with Emmanuel Agbadou, Nuno Tavares and Thilo Kehrer while Sl Benfica are reportedly monitoring Justin De Haas, Thiago Almada and Wesley Gassova Ribeiro Teixeira.
