Wolverhampton Wanderers have failed to find a clinical goalscorer so far this season.

Andre Silva of AC Milan looks on during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Bologna FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on December 10, 2017 in Milan, Italy.

Wolverhampton Wanderers must be gutted that they missed out on Andre Silva now, as the striker could have been the perfect addition to their squad.

Wolves have made an excellent start to life in the Premier League, but it is now abundantly clear that they lack a clinical goalscorer.

While Raul Jimenez has impressed since his summer move to Molineux, he does not look like a frequent scorer at Premier League level.

And Wolves were so close to filling that void in their squad over the summer transfer window.

The Birmingham Mail reported how Wolves had made Silva one of their first targets after promotion.

However, they failed to get a deal over the line, with the Portuguese striker joining Sevilla instead.

Silva has hit eight goals in 11 matches in La Liga, proving his credentials as a goalscorer.

And if Wolves had signed him they may even be higher up the Premier League table than they are now.

Wolves once again dominated against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, but they were held to a 1-1 draw by the London side.

Wolves just couldn’t take their chances, and Nuno may be questioning just how well his side would have been performing with Silva in their line-up.
