Wolves boss O'Neil: Bellegarde knows I want more

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says there's big things to come from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

Bellegarde is battling to find his place in Wolves' line-up.

But O'Neil said, “I still want more from him and he knows this. I speak to him a lot about what I think he can bring.

“Of course, as a number nine, I understood why and he understood why, and he does have attributes that were able to help us in certain games in that position.

“Did I see him playing there for the duration of his contract? Obviously not. But it's really important when he goes back into his own position that he shows everybody what he can do more often.

“Sometimes he shows you real glimpses and other times he leaves you wanting a little bit more.

“I'm pushing him hard to fight for his position in the team. He should be a real consideration from the start every week and now that hopefully we won't need to play him as a number nine too often, he can fight for his spot and push really hard."
