Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady and Raul Jimenez both look like having vital roles to play for Nuno’s side.
Jimenez has joined Wolves on loan from Benfica, and looks likely to lead the line for Nuno’s side when the competitive action starts.
The Mexican opened his account for Wolves in a friendly match last weekend, as he helped them pick up a 2-1 win over Villarreal.
And Coady felt that the goal was reward for the hard work that Jimenez has shown since joining.
“He works so hard, you can see in training he works his socks off,” Coady said.
“He presses the goalkeeper and he doesn’t stop running.
“I’m made up for him to score at Molineux, that’s massive for him.
“He’s played for Benfica and went to the World Cup – he’s going to be a top player for us.”
Coady and Jimenez both look likely to start in Wolves’ first game of the season, which comes against Everton at the weekend.
Wolves have brought in a collection of new players alongside Jimenez this summer, but still want more additions before the transfer window closes.
Wolves are understood to be closing on a deal for Adama Traore, and they also are keen to add a defender to their ranks.
Nuno’s side have big ambitions in their first season back in the top flight, after dominating the Championship last term.
