When it comes to picking up the best central midfielders of the league, there is no doubt that Ruben Neves is always going to make it on the top of the list. And Wolves' midfield nucleus has been proving his exceptional creative prowess for quite a few years in the Premier League.
The Portuguese star has been linked with big clubs in almost every season since his arrival to the Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Neves joined Wolves in the summer of 2017 for a reported sum of £15.8m —a club and league record transfer fee — reuniting with his former Porto boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
His exceptional abilities with long balls and the vision to find out teammates from any corner of the field quickly made him a firm favorite among the fans. Neves averages almost one key pass per game while providing 5.3 long passes per match.
Ruben has a good eye for set-pieces and is capable to deliver deadly balls inside the box or score himself from direct free-kicks.
In a midfield triangle, the midfielder looks to operate behind the two central midfielders in a deep-lying role and pumps out long balls. He is good in ball recoveries and his defensive duties as well. He made 194 interceptions and 812 ball recoveries. Ruben Neves has a 50% success rate of winning Aerial duels and tackle success.
He played a total of 100 games in the Premier League, scoring a total of 11 goals and making 6 assists for Wolves.
With such good statistics besides his name, the Portuguese midfielder can look for a bigger move out of Wolverhampton and even hope for involvement in the European competitions
