We were linked with the Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder quite heavily last summer but I haven't heard a great deal about him this season.
He put in an impressive performance this evening as his Portugal u21 side thrashed Germany u21's 5-0.
Roy Keane had this to say about him tonight:
"William Carvalho is a midfield monster, ruining and breaking down everything in midfield. He's tailor made for the Premier League."
Admittedly, I've only seen snippets and youtube clips, not nearly enough to give a solid opinion. Did he deliver on his early promise last season, quietly slipping under the radar? Or have we not been linked with him as he had a poor season?
Schneiderlin is my biggest hope on the midfield front, but failing that, would Carvalho be an acceptable alternative?

Carvalho has proven his worth in this tourney. Was brilliant against England and awesome tonight. Not sure where he's gonna end up if we get Schneiderlin. Liverpool need him the most but can see City going for him. He'd be a beast there eventually.

He wasn't MOTM. Pretty decent, but there were far better performances.

I could see City going for him Robb, they love a big powerful midfielder at the Etihad.
Would Emre Can not make the logical step back into his natural midfield role? Could see Carvalho going there too to be fair but would Liverpool have the funds to bring him in? I'm sure he has a hefty release clause.

Bernardo Silva seems to be another bright player for Portugal too.

Roy Keane as a reference, awesome.
