Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder lands Player of the Month accolade for August

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves has picked up the club’s Player of the Month award for the month of August.

The Portuguese maestro’s performances have proved pivotal in the opening weeks of the season and the 25-year-old’s efforts have been rewarded.

Neves picked up a massive 75% of the votes for the month’s award, the club have revealed.

A highlight for many during the opening month will no doubt be the midfielder’s goal against Newcastle United at Molineux on August 28 which helped the gold and black to a 1-1 draw.

He beat off competition from defensive duo Nathan Collins and Max Kilman who finished second and third respectively after a superb run of form which has seen the gold and black boast the best defensive record in the Premier League.

Neves recently revealed that he was close to a move away from Molineux this summer but is still ‘200% committed’ to the club and if there was any doubts surrounding that comment - he has emphatically proved it to be true over the month of August.
