The Portuguese ace has already really impressed since joining Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolves defender Matt Doherty raved about the quality of his teammate Joao Moutinho, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star, labelling the Portuguese midfielder as ‘world-class’.

The 31-year-old joined Wolves from Monaco in the summer, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of just £5 million, and many are predicting that he will prove to be a magnificent signing for the Black Country outfit.

Moutinho has appeared in all four of Wolves’ Premier League games thus far, striking up a wonderful partnership with his fellow countryman Ruben Neves.

And Doherty offered high words of praise for the 113-capped Portugal international, highlighting how impressed he has been by him so far this season, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star:

“You can see it in games with Moutinho, he never panics on the ball and makes the right decision pretty much every time. He’s a world class player, he’s done it at the top level for his whole career and he’s doing it for us as well.”

Next up for Wolves is a home game against Burnley after the international break, and Moutinho will be looking to play a key role again for his side, as they look to rack up consecutive Premier League victories.
