Wolves midfielder Neves admits Nuno key to Porto exit

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves admits Nuno was a big factor in his decision to leave Porto.

Portugal international Neves is now a key player in manager Nuno's plans.

He explained to Sky Sports: "He was a big factor. Nuno was my last coach at Porto, and then he called me to say that he wanted me to go with him.

"He's a really relaxed person who doesn't speak too much outside of the pitch. He just likes to rest and spend time with his family. He's always thinking of tomorrow and what he can do to help the team."

On his favourite away stadium, Neves added: "I would have to say Anfield. The noise and that stand behind the goal, the Kop, when they start singing, it's really loud.

"The whole stadium goes with the team. Of course, it helps that the team is in a great moment, but it's the most difficult atmosphere I've faced in the Premier League."
