That aside, Salernitana know this needs to be resolved, as the striker remains a ‘technical and financial asset that must be recovered quickly’, because the team simply isn’t the same without him.
The 2-0 loss to Lecce showed that, and his presence in front of goal was missed, which will be exactly why Wolves wanted him in the first place.
With him now halfway across the world, there is hope he returns from international duty having cleared his mind, although Morgan De Sanctis’ decision to turn down the Wolves offer hit him very hard.
In fact, Corriere dello Sport claim that before leaving to go with the Senegal squad, ‘he had threatened not to play again’ until the market reopens, meaning January.
Something Wolves will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on over the coming weeks
