Sky Sports presenter Jim White has been left drooling over the performances of the Wolves squad this season as he singled out Ruben Neves for special praise.

The Molineux outfit have enjoyed a successful first season back in the top flight after winning the Championship last year, battling it out to be best of the rest outside the top six and making their way to the FA Cup semi finals.

Raving over the quality shown by Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, White picked Neves as his star candidate in a squad who have impressed him greatly.

Speaking on Sky Sports News (24/04. 19:41) he said: “I’ve seen Wolves a couple of times, one or two in there caught my eye, Neves being the prime candidate there.

“He’s been outstanding. Moutinho, Conor Coady’s had a great season, they’ve all played out their skins.”

Opinion

You would not want to be tasked with picking the Wolverhampton Wanderers player of the season award this year, would you? There are so many candidates – including some not even mentioned by White – that it is an almost impossible task and every single player at Molineux can be proud of their efforts this season. Neves is a very good shout by the Sky Sports man though. He has shown the quality necessary to flourish in the Premier League, commanding the midfield while demonstrating his exceptional passing range and vision to cause serious problems to opposition defences. There are still some improvements needed in terms of squad depth over the summer but the base of a very good football team is already in place. They deserve applauding for their achievements this season but must realise that setting the bar this high means added pressure for next year. Can they live up to expectation?
