# Wolves: Steve Madeley confirms Fabio Silva contract extension

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) striker Fabio Silva has signed a contract extension at Molineux as he joins Anderlecht on loan, reliable journalist Steve Madeley has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Silva deals Anderlecht move

The 20-year-old has failed to set the world alight at Wolves to date, [scoring just four goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-silva/alletore/spieler/505653) in 62 appearances after arriving as a big-money signing back in 2020.

Because of that, Silva has been loaned out to Anderlecht for the 2022/23 season, as he looks to earn regular playing time and return to Wanderers a better player.

Another key update has also emerged regarding the striker, however, with Wolves showing they do still hold faith in his long-term potential.

### The Latest: Madeley confirms new deal

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SteveMadeley78/status/1549391942966038531?s=20&t=Ksz1XhF40sNPwPKSZKgROQ) on Monday, Madeley confirmed in three words that Silva had signed a new deal at the club while discussing the Anderlecht switch:

> “New contract signed.”

### The Verdict: Good experience for youngster

There is no doubt that Silva has been hugely disappointing to date, especially given his £35million price tag, but this loan move could do him the world of good.

He simply wasn’t earning the playing time at Wolves to get into any rhythm, with [only six starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/380655/Show/F%C3%A1bio-Silva) coming his way in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) last season and others ahead of him in the pecking order.

The hope is that Silva thrives at Anderlecht, realises his potential and returns to Wanderers a far more confident and rounded player. At 20, he certainly still has time on his side.
