The Portuguese midfielder has been mightily impressed by what Haaland has done in his first season in England.
"The goal figures, it's unbelievable; it's Cristiano and [Lionel] Messi level, that amount of goals," Silva told Arab News.
"Hopefully Erling can keep going that way because we need his goals until the last game of the season.
"He has definitely got the same mentality as Cristiano, always wanting to be in the box, always wanting to score. He doesn't care if he touches the ball one or two times, when he touches he scores. He's just a proper striker.
"We knew what Erling could do before he arrived because he's been doing that for a few years before he joined us, in Norway, Austria and Germany. We watched him and we played against him, but you never know when he comes here, what level he can get to.
"But what he's done so far this season has been amazing and we are really happy to have him with us. He's definitely a special player and he's helping us very much. I hope he can get even better."
