Wolverhampton Wanderers may well have had a lucky escape after failing to sign Jurgen Locadia.

Wolves wanted Locadia last summer, as reported by Sky Sports, but they failed to get a deal over the line.

Locadia has struggled since a move to Brighton, and has never managed to hold down a place in their first-team.
