Anderlecht striker Fabio Silva still targeting Wolves return

Anderlecht striker Fabio Silva is enjoying his loan in Belgium.

Silva is spending the season away from Wolves.

Silva scored five goals in his opening six games for Anderlecht and has so far scored nine goals in 26 appearances.

He told the Express & Star: “It's amazing for me. I tried to come here with the ambition to win again my confidence, to win again the pleasure to play football, to feel important to the team.

“I know for a striker it's important to score and get assists and be important to play each game and have the chance to miss and next game you go to have the chance to miss again.

“This is the most important for a striker and more at my age, this is important.

“You need to have the chance to miss and to improve so I am happy here and with the things I do here until now.

“But I am an ambitious player and I always want more so I will try to do more in the second half of the season to help Anderlecht.

“Every player wants to play for sure, but at my age, when you are young, you need to play and you need to miss and have the chance to feel some environments and feel new things.

“You have to have this to grow up. This is why I came here, to feel this and to get myself inside to be good.

“That's what I try to do. I'm very happy to be here and happy with my decision at the start of the season to come here.

“It's the best step for me in my career so I'm very happy and I always try to win something because every day you can learn something.

“I like Jeff (Shi, chairman) and every person who works at Wolves. I like them a lot an appreciate them.

“But at this moment I had to look after myself because last season was tough, it was difficult.

“Since I came here I felt from my first day that the people loved me, wanted me here and did everything they could to bring me to Anderlecht.

“They gave everything to me so I have to give everything to them too and that's what I try to do."
