Liverpool fans excited at link to Wolves midfielder.
Ruben Neves entered the 2017/18 season as the player under more pressure than any other.
His move to Wolves stunned European football as he swapped Champions League for Championship.
Fortunately he lied up to his billing, and has led Wolves into the Premier League.
