Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to a Twitter post from Tim Spiers, which discussed Christian Marques.
According to The Athletic journalist’s post, the Swiss 17-year-old is currently training with the first team, speaks four languages, was wanted by Bayern Munich and SL Benfica and is the most expensive signing in Wolves academy’s history (per Tim Spiers), which had fans talking.
Christian Marques is currently training with the first team.
He's 17, he speaks 4 languages, he was wanted by Bayern and Benfica and he's the most expensive signing in Wolves Academy's history. With good reason #WWFChttps://t.co/sKCaVMUsZ4

The kid is special. So mature, reads the game well, never miss placed a pass, so calm on the ball and gets better with every game he plays. He is going to go to the very top

He’s looked a bit of class whenever I’ve seen him.

No, seems overrated

Over the duration of the season so far, the young defender has made appearances for both the club’s Under-18s and Under-23s, having captained both sides on occasion (per Transfermarkt).
So, after Spiers tweeted about the 17-year-old prospect (per Tim Spiers), Wolves supporters continued airing their thoughts on Marques.
Moutinho replacement in a few years ?????

What do we think?
Despite one fan suggesting that Marques could be a Joao Moutinho replacement despite the youngster being a defender, it is clear that Wolves fans are excited about the Swiss national’s potential.
After being named captain of the Under-23s at just 17 years old on two occasions this season (per Transfermarkt), it is clear that the Wolves academy staff see something in him.
