# West Ham: Fans react to news about Xande Silva

**With West Ham not scoring a goal since the Premier League has returned and suffering two losses, many have been discussing who could possibly bring an attacking threat.**

Sebastien Haller has been absent with injury and therefore hasn’t made the last [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sebastien-haller/leistungsdaten/spieler/181375) matchday squads. A lot of the fan base are therefore wondering whether Xande Silva could be the one to help save them from relegation following recent news circulating on Twitter.

ExWHUemployee, via his [podcast,](https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzUwMTk3MzAucnNz/episode/dGFnOmF1ZGlvYm9vbS5jb20sMjAyMC0wNi0yNTovcG9zdHMvNzYxNTkxMg?hl=en-GB&ved=2ahUKEwjX3uzP6J3qAhWUTcAKHfdFCZwQjrkEegQICxAE&ep=6) has explained how Silva has been very impressive during his training sessions, and this has been enough to cause fans to call for the Portuguese man to be given a chance. Indeed, hee has done well for the youth side at the Irons, scoring ten goals in 12 appearances, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xande-silva/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/258011) – a very good tally.

Now at the age of [23,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xande-silva/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/258011) he will either be looking to play soon for the first team or move on, and Moyes will have to make a decision on whether he thinks he is a player he wants to keep.

Here is what fans had to say following ExWHUemployee’s admission, with many calling for the striker to get some game time:
