Ruben Neves pledges commitment to Wolves after Everton draw

Wolves captain Ruben Neves has declared his commitment for next season.

Neves was speaking after their 1-1 draw with Everton.

He said, "We wanted to win the game. We knew they would take risks – they're fighting for their Premier League lives. The only thing I can say is the nine minutes [of stoppage time]. I asked the ref why. He said they've been asked to play exact times. I don't know why they haven't been doing it all season. If you want to do it, you need to do it all season and not only in the last two games.

"We've had some games here where they [only] gave four or five minutes. They said we're the Premier League, not the World Cup. Now they are trying to be the World Cup."

On his Wolves future, he said: "I want to be here, but I never hide that I want to play Champions League football. It's a hard decision. Me and my family love it here, but in football you have to go for your main goals.

"Nothing's happened yet. If it was my last game here I really enjoyed it and I'm very thankful for the last six seasons."
