Wolves should rue not being able to sign Anderson Talisca, but he is also missing out.

Anderson Talisca of SL Benfica scores a goal against CS Maritimo during the Portuguese Primeira Liga at Estadio dos Barreiros on May 8, 2016 in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

Three games into the season Wolves still look short of a prolific forward as they chase their first win.

One attacker they were linked with signing in the summer, and in previous transfer windows, was Anderson Talisca, with Turkish newspaper Milliyet reporting their interest earlier in 2018.

He made the switch to the Chinese Super League, where he is currently tearing it up.

Talisca has scored 11 goals in eight games for Guangzhao Evergrande, plus one assist.

Five of these goals have come in his last three games.

Talisca will be earning like royalty over in China as one of the league’s best paid players, but it just looks too easy for him.

Meanwhile Wolves could have really been benefiting from him, especially after he scored over 20 goals on loan for Besiktas last year.

As much as the newly promoted Premier League side regret not being able to sign him, Talisca should also be regretting not moving to a more competitive league – once the novelty of scoring every week wears off.

He too is missing out every bit as Wolves are by not having him.
