Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott has praised Wolves for holding onto Ruben Neves this summer.

Neves was linked to Manchester City, after they failed to sign Jorginho from Napoli. But Wolves held firm and ensured they kept the player they signed from Porto just a year ago.

And Neves' value has only gone up since the start of the season, thanks to some impressive displays in the Premier League.

"Ruben Neves is already being hunted by big clubs all over Europe and has been linked with some astronomical fees," Lescott told Bwin.

"Wolves have flatly rejected any notion that he may leave the club and that's the right move, because he has been a huge star since he arrived.

"Hopefully he can stay healthy, because he will be crucial to Wolves achieving their ambitions this season."
