da bet nacional： Per a report from Gazetta dello Sport Wolves remain in pole position to sign Portuguese striker Andre Silva from AC Milan this summer.
The forward was initially subject of interest from Nuno Santo’s side in March when Calciomercato laid claims that a move could be on the cards.
Silva is a client of super agent Jorge Mendes, an individual who has close ties with Wolves, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if a bid materialised during the transfer window.
Only last month, Calciomercato reported that Mendes was trying to get the 23-year-old a move to the Premier League.
The Portugal international spent last season on loan with Sevilla, where he enjoyed a promising start to the campaign, but after November he only managed to find the net on two occasions.
Given the striker could cost €30m (£26.68m), per Gazetta dello Sport, it could represent something of a risk considering his recent form.
With a transfer possibly in the offing, Football FanCast writers have given their verdicts on whether Wolves should continue to pursue the striker.
Here’s what they’ve said…
Harry Sherlock:
“Silva is clearly talented but one has to ask if he’d be capable of making the step up to the Premier League. He scored just 11 goals in 2018-19 and also struggled with injuries throughout the campaign. He has never really set the world alight at any of his previous clubs – his scoring record at Porto was fine but at Milan and Sevilla it can be categorised as disappointing. This, then, would be a punt from Wolves. It could work out but if it doesn’t, it could be an expensive mistake.”
Luke Glanville:
“I think it’s easy to look at any high-profile Portuguese player and say that Wolverhampton Wanderers should sign them. However, Andre Silva is the real deal at just 23 and Nuno Espirito Santo really does need another striker. Silva’s scoring record both domestically and on the international stage is highly impressive and it would be interesting to see how he would fare in the Premier League. £26.68m isn’t a huge amount to gamble in the market these days and, with that said, Wolves should do it and not look back.”
Is it unrealistic to expect another top half finish from Wolves next season? HRH discusses in the video below…
Billy Meyers:
“He’s definitely a player of some pedigree, but players like this expect to start and be the main man. With Raul Jimenez up top alongside Diogo Jota, a pairing which we all know is extremely effective, there comes the danger of upsetting one of them if Andre Silva arrives. Wolves should be wary of overfilling their squad with marquee names.”
