‘Absolutely not’: Expert admits Wolves have made a signing which has really shocked him

Eyebrows were raised in the final week of the window when Wolves announced their latest acquisition.

18-year-old Enso Gonzalez was the player who arrived for a fee of £5million from Club Libertad.

A surprising move which was clearly one for the future, but the fact he was an unused substitute against Crystal Palace could suggest he is viewed as a first teamer.

Despite it being a multi-million pound move, fairly little is known about his talents and what he could bring to Molineux.

Gary O’Neil‘s side are in need of someone to give them an option out wide, can the tricky teen be that guy?

Shropshire Star recruited the help of Roberto Rojas who is an expert in Paraguayan football to shed some light onto his talents.

Rojas on Enso

Enso is no doubt a talent, however Rojas admitted he was surprised when he saw the move had gone through.

When asked if he expected a deal like this he said: “No, absolutely not. He had potential but I certainly didn’t expect him to make that jump so soon and become one of a few handful of Paraguayan players to apply their trade in English football.”

Continuing, he said that: “It’s not a jump that most Paraguayan players tend to do as they usually go to Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and the United States before trying it out in Europe but it shows that Wolves are taking a chance on him as someone they clearly rated highly.”

Rojas was then asked if Enso will be able to cope with the upgrade in competition.

“It’s going to be a huge challenge for him.” he began.

Continuing he said that: “He seems very keen about the opportunity and honoured to play for a club like Wolverhampton Wanderers and achieving the dream to play in the Premier League, so he will take every advantage he gets to impress his team-mates and Gary O’Neil.”

Can Enso be compared with Enciso

No doubt we are all hopeful that Enso will be cut from the same cloth as Brighton’s youth Paraguayan, Julio Enciso.

Enciso lit the Premier League up last season, however Rojas doesn’t think the two are similar.

“They’re very similar in terms of size and potential but he plays more like Miguel Almiron.”

He also added that Enciso has more natural talent than Enso, however Wolves’ new recruit is mature and calm on the field compared with the erratic Enciso.
