Silas Andersen, born on 13 June 2004 (age 22), is a Danish defensive midfielder with Sporting CP. At 6ft 3in (1.90m), he brings obvious size to the middle of the pitch, though his profile is still that of a developing player rather than a finished article.
His most productive league spell came with BK Hacken in 2026, when he scored three goals in nine appearances. He was linked with a move to Celtic in January 2026, a brief bit of transfer noise rather than anything more substantial.
In 2026-27, Andersen has made five Liga Portugal appearances for Sporting CP. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Andersen’s career to this point has moved from a useful scoring run in Sweden to a place in Sporting CP’s squad, with his next steps likely to say more about where his ceiling really sits.
