OPINION
Ruben Neves’ new contract extension has obviously been met with rather excited responses from the Wolves faithful. The youngster was undoubtedly one of the club’s star performers in their promotion run, and he has been deservedly reward with a bumper five-year deal. He will prove crucial to Wolves’ survival next season, and the fans are lucky that no other club has come sniffing to acquire his services. They will need to make the most of his talent next term, as it will not be long before the top clubs do come knocking – but for now, the fans can sit back and enjoy his performances in the top-flight.
