Wolves failed to find the back of the net once again at the weekend as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea, with their return of three goals in the opening nine Premier League games seeing them deservedly occupy a relegation place.

Bruno Lage, who was sacked last weekend after a 2-0 defeat to West Ham, spent much of the summer looking for another striker to compete with Raul Jimenez, who finished as the Old Gold's top scorer in the top flight last season with just six goals.

Sasa Kalajdzic was brought in but injured his ACL on his debut, while fellow attacker Goncalo Guedes has flattered to deceive since his summer move from Valencia, with no goals and just one assist thus far.

This forced the Portuguese manager's hand, with Diego Costa arriving on a free transfer, but his first start against Chelsea saw him have just ten touches and complete four passes against his old side, which suggests that he will be a long way from the striker who terrorised defences in his last spell in England.

Meanwhile, Lage made the decision to loan out two young strikers in Fabio Silva and Leanardo Campana, and the latter's impressive form in the MLS suggests that he could have been a threat in the top flight.

The Ecuador international is yet to make a senior appearance for Wolves, having joined the club in January 2020, but has found his feet on loan with Inter Miami this year.

In 28 appearances for Phil Neville's side, the 22-year-old has contributed 13 goals and one assist, which suggests that he can be a threat in front of goal, and might be one for Wolves' new manager to consider when he returns to the club in the new year.

Neville was full of praise for the youngster earlier this year, saying:

"I watched him play for Ecuador in the under-20 World Cup and you can see there’s a player there. You can see by the size of him, the sheer physicality of him, he’s got everything you need in a good old-fashioned centre-forward."

Considering Silva had struggled with the physicality of the Premier League, it is surprising that he was afforded so many opportunities by Lage when Campana could have been a better option.

Given Wolves' goalscoring woes, it seems as if the former manager made another big mistake in loaning out Campana, as he could have been a good player to have in their current predicament.
