🚨 Only 4 goals in 62 PL games, BVB sign striker for €25m | OneFootball

After losing out in the battle for ManCity's Claudio Echeverri to Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund appears to have won the poker for another offensive player from the Premier League. According to Fabrizio Romano, David Ornstein and Sacha Tavolieri, BVB has signed Fábio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After 'Bild' initially reported on a pending transfer on Thursday afternoon, 'The Athletic' has now followed suit. The attacker is expected to cost BVB up to 25 million euros and is set to be a backup striker for Serhou Guirassy.

It's a hefty sum, not just for a backup, but also considering Silva's goal haul in recent years. Arriving in 2020 with high expectations for 40 million euros from Porto, the youngster only netted four times in 62 Premier League games for the Wolves.

Even during a loan to the Rangers from Glasgow, he only managed four goals in 18 games in the Scottish Premiership in the second half of the 2023/24 season.

However, things have been looking up recently. Silva was loaned to Spanish first division team Las Palmas last season and scored a respectable ten goals in 24 season games. According to several reports, Leipzig and Wolfsburg were also interested in Silva.
