£10.8m wasted: Rarely-seen Wolves dud has been ransacking Fosun's pockets for 73 weeks - opinion

Since Fosun took charge at Wolves back in 2016, the Midlands club have been fairly active when it comes to spending money on new players throughout the summer and winter transfer windows.

As is the case with all clubs, however, not all new signings turn out to be completely successful straight away.

One player that made the move to Wolves in recent memory that has not hit the ground running is full-back Ki-Jana Hoever.

Since then, the 20-year-old has only made 23 appearances for the Midlands club across all competitions.

Last season saw the defender make 12 appearances in the league but fail to show how capable he can be of playing for Wolves at a high level, with WhoScored giving him an overall performance rating of 6.36/10, making him one of their lowest-rated players for the campaign.

It’s been a similar story for the former Liverpool youngster this season as well with WhoScored listing him as the lowest-rated Wolves player that has started more than one league game.

With just six appearances and two league starts under his belt this season, it’s safe to say that Bruno Lage doesn’t rate the player, who is currently picking up a weekly wage of £12k-per-week according to Salary Sport, particularly high, which makes sense given his poor performances.

Taking all of this into account and the fact that Jota has managed to score 30 goals in 62 appearances for Liverpool, it seems as though the Reds may have struck a better deal with him rather than Wolves’ deal for Hoever.

Even though he’s still only young and has a lot of time ahead of him to
