Ruben Neves: Wolves in the Champions League would be huge career achievement

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves admits he's been missing the Champions League.

The 24-year-old is consistently linked with a move away from Molineux and although he admits he misses playing in the Champions League, he goes on to say he would love to take Wolves into the prestigious competition.

He said: “Yes (I miss it), a lot.

“I think any player that plays Champions League football and then spends a few years without competing in it will miss it.

“It's a nice tournament to be part of, of course I miss it. It's a tournament every player wants to play in.

“Being able to play in the Champions League and being able to compete against all the clubs is probably the main goal of every player, and for me it's no different.

“Fortunately I was able to compete in the Champions League for three years with FC Porto and we did a brilliant and remarkable campaign but I do miss stepping out on the pitch and hearing the tournament's anthem."

Neves added: “I think that if I was to return to playing in the Champions League with Wolves, it would be one of the highest points in my career, because of the love I have for the club, for the city and the fans – I think it would just be perfect."
