Sold for £1.7m, now worth £31.5m: Shi had Wolves disaster over 37-goal Ronaldo "heir" - opinion

Wolves‘ struggles in front of goal are well documented, and addressing their problems in the final third could be manager Bruno Lage’s first area he needs to address ahead of the start of the next season.

Just five teams in the Premier League have failed to put the ball in the back of the net more than the Portuguese boss’ side, with Leeds as far down as 16th having scored more times this campaign.

Having left Wolves for Famalicao in the summer of 2019 for a fee of just £1.1m, despite being labelled as “outstanding” by former  U23’s manager Rob Edwards, he is now valued at a whopping £31.5m according to Transfermarkt – a mighty 2592% increase which will surely leave chairman Jeff Shi with nightmares.
