Premier League 2018: 10 Promoted Players To Watch Next Season
1. Rúben Neves (Wolves)
The headline-stealing signing of last summer is about to take his first steps into the Premier League and it's going to be very exciting to see how he gets on. 21-year-old Portugal international Rúben Neves became the Championship's most expensive player when he joined up with Wolves last July, scoring his first goal for the club in August and adding five more over the course of the season.
Those statistics don't tell the whole story of his incredible contributions to his team's efforts. An extremely intelligent reader of the game, Neves is simply a joy to watch, demonstrating a beautiful first touch and spraying passes left and right with astounding accuracy. He was selected in the Championship Team of the Season and won several individual awards with his club after a fantastic debut campaign in English football.
Even with the flashy dribbling skills of Cavaleiro and the goalscoring talents of Bonatini and Jota, Neves is arguably the best player on Wolves' books, possessing all the potential in the world to evolve into one of the game's greatest midfielders. Some observers have doubts about his ability to cope with the Premier League, but Neves has all the skill he needs to take to the top flight like a duck to water.
