Inside track: Why £38m Matheus Nunes could prove a snip for Wolves (shropshirestar.com)

Wolves are set to make a huge coup with the £38million signing of Sporting's Matheus Nunes.

Nunes has a fantastic passing range, and he uses this to dictate the game. I think the Portuguese influence will have been massive for Nunes, especially with Bruno Lage at the helm. He has been used predominantly as a number eight, often operating alongside a more defensively-minded midfielder such as Joao Palhinha.

Man Utd and Arsenal target Ruben Neves closes in on new contract ... (The Sun)

WOLVES have struck gold with their club record £42.2million capture of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes, subject to a medical.But there could.

[Ruben Neves](https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-neves/) edges closer to pledging his long-term future to the Molineux club. If he continues on his current trajectory Wolves could easily double their money on the 23-year-old who has agreed a five-year-deal with the club, as his all-action style is perfectly suited to the Prem. Following Wolves' 1-1 draw with Norwich City, a tearful Neves waved to fans, in what was assumed to be his farewell ahead of an expected move to Barcelona or Manchester United over the summer. Wolves were already sold on Nunes long before he ran the show against them in a pre-season friendly in Portugal in July. Wolves fans have been braced all summer for the departure of one of their favourite Portuguese sons, after Neves appeared to pay them an emotional farewell after his final home game of last season. He is a master of all the midfield arts, playing short when he has to, long when it's on, and he can run opponents into the ground if they let him. He is an accomplished box-to-box midfielder who thrives in the hurly burly of the midfield battleground, where he sees plenty of the ball. If he does take to the pitch Wolves fans will be licking their lips at the superstar now in their midst. The Molineux icon is said to be thrilled by the coup Lage has just pulled off and the prospect of teaming up with his international teammate, who has been tipped to take the Premier League by storm. "Nunes is one of the best at the moment." Having agreed personal terms, all that remains is for Nunes to successfully complete his Wolves medical and obtain his work permit, which should be a formality, before preparing for a baptism of fire against Tottenham. [Nunes](https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/matheus-nunes/)' decision to join Bruno Lage's Portuguese colony in the Midlands could prove to be the tipping point in [Wolves](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1226009/wolverhampton-wanderers/)' negotiations to agree a new contract with Neves.

It will be interesting to see which shirt number Nunes will wear when he completes his move. At Sporting, he has worn the number 8 shirt.

We have already seen Goncalo Guedes take Fabio Silva’s number 17 shirt, so it’s not like loan players’ shirts are off limits. The number 12 shirt is free, while Conor Coady’s 16 is now up for grabs after he departed for Everton. The majority are just thrilled the club have managed to get him in. It is worth noting that the number 6 shirt could soon be freed up at Molineux. It will be interesting to see which shirt number Nunes will wear when he completes his move.

But in an era of football where the chances of closing the gap on the traditional superpowers is so remote, it’s a route which continues to see Wolves punch above their weight. There is also little question that the relationship between Fosun and Mendes has resulted in them landing a player almost everybody thought was out of their reach. Unlike the metronomic pair of Neves and Joao Moutinho, the 23-year-old is a daring dribbler. Yes the club have utilised a market and nation to give them an advantage when traditionally bigger clubs come calling for their targets. “I would say that Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today," Guardiola declared. Lage is desperate to rid his side of the pragmatic style which became synonymous with his predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo.
