Edson Silva signed for Tottenham from PSV Eindhoven shortly before the 2004/05 season got underway. Tottenham's Sporting Director Frank Arnesen had signed him for PSV after spotting him playing for Portugal's youth teams. The attacking midfielder signed a one-year deal with an option to extend that at the end of the season.
Unfortunately, he did not reach the first team and left Spurs in January 2005 to join Den Haag. After scoring 3 goals for Den Haag, Egyptian side Zamalek signed him.
In the beginning of 2007 he was signed by Romanian Liga I side UTA Arad.[2] After the 2008 season and relegation with UTA, he then left Romania and trained with Finnish Veikkausliiga club TPS Turku.[3] Afterwards, he returned to Romania and signed a contract with Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.
