Template method overload not called

I have this class (.h file):

class Entity {    public:        template<typename T, typename... Args>      T& addComponent(Args &&... args) {          // add component and return      }    };  

When I get an specific type, i want a different behavior, so I'm triying to overload the "addComponent" method like this (.cpp file):

template<>  TransformComponent& Entity::addComponent<TransformComponent>() {      printf("overloaded! \n");      // add component and return  }  

the method call is made like this:

entity.addComponent<TransformComponent>();  

but the method is never called.
