Wolves chief Hobbs explains sending Fabio Silva to PSV

Wolves striker Fabio Silva has joined PSV Eindhoven for the rest of this campaign.

The 20-year-old forward will hope to get regular game time in the Eredivisie.

Silva had spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Anderlecht in Belgium.

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “Anderlecht have been brilliant with Fabio and have given him a platform to perform, but I think they'd admit it's been a season where they've struggled.

"We were concerned if they don't progress in certain competitions, they won't have many fixtures with how their system works, and having an international tournament in the summer, it was important Fabio plays regularly.

Anderlecht have been great understanding that. They've been first rate and we'd have no issue loaning players to them again.

"Now, this is the next step of his development. The club invested in a young player with high potential, and he showed glimpses of his talent here at Wolves, and at Anderlecht we saw him score regularly, so we're looking for the same at PSV.

“Julen wants him to be back here for pre-season to see how he's developed. The manager is keeping a close eye on him."
