Wolves are now being spoken of as possible contenders for a European spot.

The Molineux Stadium team are experiencing a remarkable turnaround since the start of the season.

When Gary O'Neil took charge days before their opening game, most pundits predicted that Wolves would go down.

O'Neil prefers to praise his players, stating after a 4-2 win over Chelsea: “We are a small group but the quality of player the club has managed to recruit before I was here, then me being able to come in and help their understanding, is the reason we are producing the results we are.

“There is no magic wand. They are good players in the dressing room.

“Joao Gomes being signed at a young age, Matheus Cunha, Mario Lemina last January, Craig Dawson at the same time. Pedro Neto whenever that was. It is not like I have turned bad players into good ones.

“There are some extremely talented players who all understand now what we are trying to do."
