Tim Nash takes a look at how Wolves fared as part of i’s season reviews for all 20 Premier League clubs

The fact they were safe with two months of the season to spare – and were above Chelsea and fighting for a European spot in March – was aHwang and Cunha ended with 12 Premier League goals each, a huge turnaround when you consider their return was three and two goals respectively last season, and that the last time a top-flight Wolves team had two players in double figures was 1979-80.

Warnings to strengthen the team in August and January went unheeded, even though O’Neil had been promised funds to do so.Deals to sign Alex Scott – who joined Bournemouth – and Chelsea forward Armando Broja, who went to Fulham on loan, in each respective window reached advanced stages before Wolves pulled out.

All of this culminated in an end-of-season slump that saw Wolves end the campaign with a whimper, winning just one of their last 10 games.From the leadership, power and versatility of Mario Lemina, the pace, trickery and quick feet of Ait-Nouri and the goals of Hwang and Cunha, there have been some tremendous performances this season.The Portuguese has not only had his best season since joining Wolves from Barcelona in 2020 but has improved massively in the defensive side of his game.
