Credit to Nuno Espirito Santo and the work he has done at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After beating out top European clubs to the signing of Ruben Neves last season, Santo and his side went on to dominate the Championship before coming to the Premier League, where the Portuguese manager turned to his compatriot, Moutinho, to provide veteran leadership for his side. The former Monaco man delivered.

He is currently tied for eighth in the league with his eight assists and has been crucial with his passing and industry in the center of the park for Wolves as they wrap up an impressive return to the Premier League.
