Anderson Talisca arrives in UK to seal Wolverhampton Wanderers switch

Benfica attacker Anderson Talisca has reportedly arrived in the UK to finalise his transfer to Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 22-year-old had been courted by Liverpool in recent weeks but in a surprise move, Talisca instead opted to join the Midlands outfit.

Last week Wolves announced a takeover by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International, who will pay a Championship record transfer fee of £20m to secure the services of the Brazilian as they target a speedy return to the top flight.

According to O Jogo, Talisca's agent Jorge Mendes was in Wolverhampton on Thursday to finalise the deal, with Talisca following today to undergo a medical and sign paperwork.

The newspaper claims that Wolves will officially unveil their marquee signing this weekend, possibly during Saturday's pre-season friendly with Swansea City at Molineux.
