"Goal Machine" "Prolific" and "The Final Part Of The Jigsaw" were all phrases used by Glenn Hoddle following his signing of £1.4M Polish International Thomasz Frankowski last season.

Frankowski has failed to score in 18 league games and he even failed to score in any of Wolves pre-season games against the likes of Hednesford Town, Crewe, Tranmere and Burton Albion however he now heads out of Molineux.

The striker is due to complete a medical at Spanish Second Division side Tenerife over the weekend and move on loan for the season with a view to a possible full transfer.

Speaking to the clubs official website, Wolves Chief Executive Jez Moxey told the clubs official website "Tomasz obviously wants to play first team football, and the manager was happy to see him get an opportunity elsewhere as there was no point in having an expensive international player sitting in the stands. So we have been working hard to find him a club and subject to him passing a medical he will join Tenerife for the remainder of this season.

  "If Tenerife win promotion they have the option to buy Tomasz but if they decide not to do that then they will have to pay us a loan fee and he will return to Molineux for the start of season 2007/08."
