Boulaye Dia has been urged to forget about Wolverhampton Wanderers and focus on helping Salernitana on the pitch. That’s according to Tutto Salernitana director Luca Esposito, who made this claim when appearing as a guest on TMW Radio.
Towards the end of the last window, Wolves made an offer to sign the striker on loan with an obligation to buy. He was keen on accepting the offer and tried forcing a move, but the Serie A side blocked his exit.
That didn’t please the Senegal international, and he returned late from the last international break. The situation between the two parties has been resolved and Dia has already returned to the club.
Since then, the 26-year-old has made three league appearances and his displays haven’t pleased Esposito.
“Dia must demonstrate his attachment to the shirt. The transfer window reopens in January and he will go away for the Africa Cup of Nations. It’s now or never. The fans forgave him but against Inter and Monza he appeared a bit lanky and out from the game. He must be recovered, last year his goals guaranteed salvation a month early,” he said.
Salernitana have also struggled on the pitch, leaving them sit in the relegation zone after eight games. This has resulted in the club replacing manager Paulo Sousa with Filippo Inzaghi earlier this week.
The Tutto Salernitana journalist believes Inzaghi will not only help Dia on the pitch but off it as well, helping him to forget about Wolves.
“He can help, who can do it better than him. Make him understand to forget about Wolverhampton and only think about the pitch,” Esposito explained.
