Conor Coady has praised Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Conor Coady.
Wolves have bought impressively this summer, bringing in the likes of Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez to Molineux.
However, Coady insists that Neves is the best player at the club still, and he is an example to others through his attitude.
“He’s absolutely magnificent, the best player I’ve ever played with,” Coady said.
“He’s a spectacular player, he really is. To come from another country at such a young age and have the impact he’s had, he’s a role model for young players to follow. I’d heard a lot about him before he came to us because there were stories in the papers about Liverpool being interested in him and obviously I still watch what happens at Liverpool. It’s a privilege to have him in our team.”
Neves was a key player for Wolves as they won the Championship last term, and he has carried his form into the new season.
The Portuguese playmaker was brilliant, as Wolves picked up a 2-2 draw with Everton on opening day.
Neves curled in a free-kick before setting up Jimenez to score the equaliser.
Wolves are next in action this weekend, when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
