Arsenal and Chelsea could use Silva<\/h2>\n

Arsenal could use more creativity in the final third. Silva could be an upgrade on Martin Odegaard. He is versatile enough to operate in multiple midfield roles, and he could be the ideal utility man for Arsenal. Apart from his undeniable quality as a footballer, his leadership skills and winning experience could prove invaluable to the London club.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chelsea need more creativity in the final third as well. Players like Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have been underwhelming. They need more options at their disposal, and the 31-year-old can slot into multiple areas and help them create opportunities in the attack.<\/p>\n

He has consistently shown his quality in the Premier League, and a new challenge could be more exciting for him. It remains to be seen whether the player is open to joining Arsenal or Chelsea in the summer. Silva has 76 goals and 77 assists for Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Manchester City will certainly hope that he moves abroad. They will not want to lose a key player to a direct rival.<\/p>\n
