Wolverhampton Wanderers’ influence could extend to football’s greatest international tournament this summer.

While Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Championship season has been an incredible success thus far, things could get even better for the club as we gear up for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

While they may not have quite as many clear-cut contenders to book a place in Russia compared to other English sides, their overwhelming quality from head to toe means that a few stars are in with a great chance of representing their nation on the biggest stage in world football.

Ruben Neves – Portugal

This one may seem like the most obvious selection of them all if you have been watching the Championship over the course of the season, but fans have to remember that Portugal are the reigning European champions.

While Neves has indeed been called up for the current international break, it will take a special effort for him to be included in the final line-up for Russia 2018. Still, if anyone possesses the quality to make enough noise to warrant a place in the team, it is Ruben Neves.

Alfred N’Diaye – Senegal

Alfred N’Diaye is a man who is dedicated to the cause, whether that be as a substitute or a member of the starting XI. When he was given his chance to make a real impression in the first team he took it with both hands, and now, Senegal will likely be looking at him as a contender to take a seat on the plane.

In a tough group which includes Poland, Colombia and Japan, his nation will require his tenacity as they attempt to replicate their 2002 World Cup heroics which saw them reach the quarter-finals.

Romain Saiss – Morocco

Despite not always being the first name on the team sheet, Romain Saiss has the ability to be the best player on the park when he’s on form.

The midfielder already has 18 caps to his name for Morocco, and if he can make a strong finish to the season with Wolves, then there is every chance that he will be a part of their efforts as they attempt to be Africa’s most successful representative at the World Cup. They will face tough opposition in the form of Iran, Portugal and Spain.
