He has a very big future indeed, but he's a Mendes client, so that pretty much makes the deal impossible.Ruben Neves (Wolves)
Player I really like the look of. Portuguese, 20 years of age.
Plays as a DM but with the ability to drive the team forward. He has great vision, awareness, great passerr of the ball.
Played for Porto's first team since aged 17, not just in the league, but Champions league also. Not bit parts either, he's captained Porto.
He plays for the national side also, and plenty of comparisons liken him to Moutinho.
I've seen him a few times now and he's caught the eye. I think at 20 years old, and with Poch's input he could be the perfect replacement for when Dembele leaves.
His passing from deep is very good, always looking to move the ball forward straight away, if he can't, he'll look to have a dribble forward.
Technically sound, been with Porto since 8 years old, with masses of experience for one so young. I'd be all over this.
Wolves the last time I looked (Friday ) sat top of the Championship. I think it would be safe to say if they got promoted, there would be a few clubs sitting up and taking notice of this lads ability.
Think Winks in style of play, but Neves is of bigger frame. I think the pair of them could compliment each other quite well, and or be part of rotation with Dembele, Wanyama and Dier.
He only just moved to Wolves for this seasons start. Club record and Championship record paid for his services. Circa £16 million. So of course I know we won't be securing in January. But a pre contact for an offer they couldn't refuse.
Think this lad would offer us more than Barkley and 3 years younger.
