Wolves captain Conor Coady says Joao Moutinho has made a great impact since his summer arrival from AS Monaco.

Moutinho has more than lived up to his reputation.

“He's special," Coady told the Express & Star. “We're very lucky to have him. We knew the calibre of him coming in at the start of the season, we were all excited to work with him.

“He's a European champion. You see his experience and how he can dictate things but his experience in the changing room.

“What he's brought, professionalism, it's absolutely fantastic.

“We were all looking forward to playing with him but seeing it first hand is something else.

“What he's done in the last year, he can control a game and dictate a game.

“We're made up to have him here."
