Help Wolves

Help support Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club

Wolverhampton Wanderers have opened their chequebooks to sign highly-rated Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves from FC Porto.

The Wolves have paid up a Championship record fee for the 20-year-old, who has two caps with his national side.

Neves had been linked with a switch to the Molineux earlier in the month with the club's owners Fosun maintaining their close relationship with super-agent Jorge Mendes in order to push through the deal. Wolves boss NunoEspirito Santo had worked together with Neves at Porto last season, and his presence in west Midlands simplified the club's pursuit of the young midfielder.

Wolves have completed the deal for Ruben Neves from Porto.

The much awaited deal cost the club £15 million. The midfielder was impressive last term. He was anouced the youngest skipper to lead a Champions League side when Porto played Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015.

Neves is now 20 and features in defensive midfield capacity. He agreed a five year deal with Wolves, where he is expected to make heavy impact.

Neill Collins has shared his thoughts on the new coach at MolineuxNunoEspirito Santo who agreed a three year deal with the club.

Collins knows the new boss as they worked together on their coaching badges in 2011.

Molineux have ended their interest in signing Derby star player Andreas Weimann on a permanent deal.

Former Coach Paul Lambert brought the player to the club last term. He scored three goals in 21 games while on loan.

Wolves skipper Danny Batth scored his fourth goal of the season as the team sailed to a crucial victory against Preston in the Sky Bet Championship on Sunday.

Batth’s sole effort was enough to separate both sides in the last fixture of the Championship season.
