Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany has spoken highly of Wolverhampton Wanderers to The Express & Star.

Kompany was impressed with the performance of Wolves in their Premier League game against City at the Molineux Stadium this past weekend.

Nuno’s side played out a 1-1 draw with Pep Guardiola’s side this past Saturday afternoon.

Belgium international defender Kompany – who earns £150,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – has praised Wolves.

The former Anderlecht and Hamburg star has said that Nuno’s side do not play like a club who have just been promoted from the Premier League to the Championship.

The 32-year-old told The Express & Star about Wolves: “I’m confident they will take points off our competitors. I’m convinced they will (surprise a few teams) – they don’t behave or play like a Championship team that has just been promoted.

“They are the typical type of team who is geared up to get big scalps because they have enough quality to play themselves out of situations when they are under pressure. The other thing is their key players work hard and that’s always a good mix.”

Top-10 finish?

Wolves have a good squad which includes well-known players such as Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, and there is enough quality to suggest that Nuno’s side can challenge for a top-10 finish in the Premier League this season.

What is important first is that the Wanderers pick up points and climb away from the Premier League relegation zone.
