Wolves have made a good start to life in the Premier League and have already proven that they are a tough team to beat. Nuno Espirito Santo has managed to establish an attacking playing style at the Molineaux Stadium while operating with two wingbacks and three attackers up top. However, it is their midfield orchestrators who have recently gotten all the limelight due to their impressive performances over the first four league matches of this season.
The Portuguese duo of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho has distributed the ball well and has also brought a long-range goal-threat from midfield. However, it is the youngster, Neves who was the one to step up and execute a brilliant free-kick against Everton to announce himself to the Premier League. His outstanding contributions have not gone unnoticed as clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United are interested in securing his services shortly.
Why Is Neves So Highly Rated?
At the tender age of 21, Neves has already managed to establish himself as one of the league’s best midfield talents which is why some of the biggest clubs in Europe want to recruit him. However, Wolves cannot afford to let him leave at any cost as the Portuguese midfielder holds the key to their success in the top tier of English football.
What Makes Neves So Good?
The Portuguese talent is a complete package who primarily operates as a deep-lying holding midfielder. Neves is an excellent passer of the ball and is not afraid to spray long balls when a forward makes a good run behind the opposition defence. The 21-year-old has a terrific right foot and packs a lot of power with his shots from range. He does not have any weaknesses in his game which is why a lot of people are tipping him to be one of the best midfield talents in world football if he can fulfil his real potential.
Can Wolves Afford To Sell Their Portuguese Star?
Wolves are in no position to lose their most prized asset during this season as it can have a detrimental impact on the pitch. The West Midlands side should look to retain his services for as long as possible as the Portuguese wonderkid would be a hard man to replace.
The excellent understanding between Neves and Moutinho is also something which Nuno Santo’s side can benefit from, in the next few years as long as they can keep them together on the pitch.
