Fabio Silva arrived at Molineux with a lot of hype and excitement surrounding him but despite being just 18-years old and having been throwing in at the deep end, he's flattered to deceive a lot of the time, but Wolves legend Steve Bull still holds out hope for him.

During his time with Porto, Silva was described as the '€125 million boy' because of his release clause in his contract which was, and still is, the highest to ever have been inserted into a contract in Liga Nos.

Former manager Nuno Espirito Santo may not have expected to have handed Silva as many as 12 Premier League starts but his hands were tied when Raul Jimenez was ruled out for the season in November.

Four goals in 32 league appearances doesn't scream wonderkid however, and he came under scrutiny from Jamie O'Hara on Twitter following his appearance against Tottenham earlier this month, with the talkSPORT pundit labelling him as "absolutely shocking".

Bull, though, does believe that he will prove his worth in the future and justify his huge price tag and then some more, as he exclusively told Football FanCast:

"Mendes and the club must have seen something in him and they did say when he first joined the club that in four years he'll be worth £100 million.

"The club must see something that a lot of supporters can't, but I do think you might see him gradually blend into a well-established centre-forward."

Just this week, Jeff Shi admitted that he thinks Silva is the best wonderkid in the world at his age but his goal-scoring record at Molineux says otherwise when you look at what players such as Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have been and are doing.

Next season could be a huge one for Silva's development as he can hopefully have an entire season playing, training and learning from Jimenez who is expected to start next season fully fit.
