Wolves: Neves signs five-year deal with Premier League club
Rúben Neves was Wolves' star player in the Championship last season and he has now committed his long-term future to the club.
Wolves midfielder Rúben Neves has signed a five-year contract with the newly promoted Premier League side.
Neves commits to Wolves despite interest from major clubs
Neves was Wolves' standout performer as they won the Championship last season, having joined from Porto in a surprise move reported to be worth £15.8 million.
And the Portugal international's performances - including six league goals - had brought speculation that Liverpool and Manchester United could swoop.
The 21-year-old has pledged his future to the Molineux outfit, though, and will be a pivotal figure in their first season in the top flight since the 2011-12 campaign.
Delighted to sign a new deal with my club 💛🖤
