Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says Joao Gomes has everything needed in a top midfielder.

Gomes scored twice in victory at Tottenham last weekend.

O'Neil said, "I love Joao Gomes to bits. He's still got lots of learning to do but attribute-wise he has pretty much everything you'd want in a tenacious ball-winning midfielder.

"We're trying to tidy up some little bits. Sometimes his passing or care on the ball can improve.

"Hopefully we can get him right to the top of the game, but hopefully that means he's still with us at that point.

"He's still very young and I'm sure there will be ups and downs with him. It wasn't too long ago that we took him out the team to give him a break and freshen it up.

"It's important there's not too much expectation on him for a young lad, but I'm delighted with where he is.

"Having Mario next to him, an experienced one, has really helped him."
