Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson says that Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves can become one of the best players in the Premier League.

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has described Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves as an "unbelievable" player.

Neves is widely regarded to be the best player in the Championship, with the Portugal international helping Wolves sit at the top of the second-tier standings with eight matches remaining.

After watching Neves impress in Saturday's 3-1 win over Burton Albion, Merson feels that the 21-year-old can become one of the best players in the Premier League should Wolves win promotion to the top flight.

Merson told Sky Sports News: "This lad in midfield, Neves, he can play. He is one proper player. This is no disrespect to Wolves but how's he playing in the Championship? Seriously.

"He could easily play in the Premier League, easily. And he would be one of the best players. His passing and his vision, this kid is unbelievable."

Neves has scored four goals in 35 starts for Wolves during the current campaign.
