Rangers coach Michael Beale has been impressed with Wolverhampton Wanderers star Ruben Neves.
Rangers coach Michael Beale has praised Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves on Twitter following his performance against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
Beale, who joined Rangers in the summer of 2018 having previously worked at the Liverpool Academy and also as a youth coach at Chelsea, has said that Neves is a top player.
The Rangers coach has also said that Liverpool first-team coach Pepijn Lijnders has been raving about the 21-year-old Portugal international midfielder to him for four or five years, having worked with the youngster at FC Porto.
Lijnders worked at FC Porto from 2007 until 2014 and is now in his second coaching spell at Liverpool.
Future move to Liverpool?
Neves is one of the best and most promising young players in Europe, and Liverpool could well be keeping tabs on the Wolves midfielder and perhaps even make an offer for him in the summer of 2019 or in the next one or two years.
The youngster played an instrumental role in Wolves’ 4-3 win against Leicester at home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
According to WhoScored, Neves provided one assist, took three shots, had a pass accuracy of 74.5%, won one header, and made two tackles, three interceptions and one clearance.
Liverpool were linked with a move for Neves in the summer of 2018, with FourFourTwo reporting in April 2018 that the Reds were interested in signing the midfielder from Wolves.
