Joao Moutinho: Portuguese pals helped me settle at Wolves

Joao Moutinho admits he's found it easy to settle in the Premier League at Wolves.

He has appeared ever-so comfortable alongside compatriot Ruben Neves in midfield.

And he says his fellow countrymen – Diogo Jota, Helder Costa and Rui Patricio being just a few others at the club – are making being at Molineux 'easy' for him.

“I like English football and there are Portuguese people here," said Moutinho.

“A lot of players are Portuguese or speak Portuguese and it's good. It's easy to be at this club."

Moutinho, 32, added: "The game never stops, the rhythm is good – it's fast.

“That's good. I've played with this kind of style and maybe that's why I suit it.

“This league you play fast, one or two touch.

“It's aggressive, but not like you're going to hurt someone.

“The players don't go for the leg, they go for the ball."
