Wolves To Make Biggest Transfer In Their 139 Year History

In your lifetime, did you ever think that a Championship side would spend £25 million on a player? Well, that's the way football is nowadays and Wolves are the prime example of how the sport is changing.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to sign players from Benfica and use super agent Jorge Mendes to do so following their takeover by China-based Fosun Group, and their latest transfer target shows huge intent.

Reports in Portugal (Wednesday's edition of A Bola) believe Benfica midfielder Anderson Talisca will snub Premier League outfit Liverpool for the bright lights of Wolverhampton.

22-year-old Talisca has played 34 games for Benfica, scoring nine times and is touted as a huge prospect in Portugal

The Express & Star also believe Wolves will land a sensational triple transfer swoop from Benfica today.

That's right. Wolverhampton Wanderers are going to sign PELE.

What a time to be alive.
