New Wolves manager O'Neil brings renewed optimism for SaPaul Vegas

While the Portugal goalkeeper remains at Molineux, O'Neil stresses the importance of the transfer window closing, stating: "It brings clarity to everyone involved. Now, we all know where we stand for the next few months and our sole focus is on earning our place in the team. Our goal is to contribute to the success of the team and make a difference in the upcoming months."

“Jose has trained really well. He was away with Portugal for a significant amount of the international break, but since he's been back, he’s trained really well. He trained well again this morning, so there’s a lot of games coming up and he knows that he could be needed at any moment.

“He knows that the shirt isn't just given to Sam. Whoever wears that shirt at the weekend needs to earn it, so let’s see how that goes, but he's given himself the best chance at the moment.”
