Rafa Mir has earned praise for his performance for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their friendly against Basel yesterday.

Mir endured a difficult first six months at Wolves, after joining in January, as he struggled to acclimatise to the English game.

Rafael Mir of Valencia controls the ball during the UEFA Youth Champions League match between Celtic and Valencia at Celtic Park on February 10, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

However, Nuno gave the youngster a chance to start from the off yesterday, and Mir took his chance to show Wolves fans that he could have a part to play.

Mir netted Wolves’ first goal in the contest, which they won 2-1, with a nice finish.

And the reaction of Wolves fans to his performance was generally a very positive one.

Whether Wolves will look to loan out Mir this season remains to be seen.

The youngster seems to face fierce competition for a place in Nuno’s starting line-up following the arrival of Raul Jimenez on loan from Benfica.

Wolves kick their Premier League campaign off with a match against Everton.
