Wolves were linked with Diogo Goncalves in the summer.
Wolves have had a flying start to the season in the Championship and sit in second position heading into the October international break.
Manager Nuno Santo Esperito has quickly gelled his side together, benefitting from a smart influx of summer signings.
Diogo Jota has been the pick so far, and the team’s success should have another Diogo lamenting his missed chance to sign with the club.
Wolves were linked to attacker Diogo Goncalves in the summer, after the winger starred at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
Portuguese newspaper Record claimed Goncalves was set to sign a season long loan deal at Molineux.
Goncalves elected to stay at Benfica to try and crack their first team after receiving encouragement he could do it.
So far it has been a frustrating experience for him.
Goncalves has played just four minutes of Primeira Liga football for Benfica, which have come in two very brief substitute appearances a month apart.
Instead he has had to make do with playing for Benfica’s B side instead, scoring in his most recent appearance.
Gonvalves is a very talented young winger and is being wasted in Benfica’s reserves when he could have been playing regularly for Wolves.
With the side battling for promotion, Wolves could stand a good chance of convincing Goncalves to join up in January if the current situation continues.
