Wolves fans have been sent an important message from star defender Toti Gomes.
When the Portuguese centre-back talks, people listen, which explains why Toti is a candidate to become Wolves captain.
The 26-year-old has come on leaps and bounds since joining Wolves in 2020, thriving on loan before returning to show his worth in the first team.
Vitor Pereira couldn’t imagine life without Toti, who has become a shining light in the Wolves squad, but the defender has urged fans to take notice of a new star on the block.

Toti Gomes heaps praise on Mateus Mane
Toti was voted the most underrated Wolves player by his teammates, which comes as no surprise, as the defender’s quality often slips under the radar.
The Portugal international, who has two caps for his country, was involved in the discussion regarding the most underrated player at Molineux, and his answer was direct.
Toti first nominated Jean-Ricner Bellegarde before urging fans to keep an eye out for Mateus Mane’s progress.
“We have a new kid coming up as well, Mane, very underrated, you need to look for him.”
It’s encouraging to hear such exciting feedback from those who work with the teenager, with Toti believing Mane is already underrated at the age of 17.
Pereira has plans for Mane, as we saw last season, as the boss handed the academy jewel his Premier League debut.
Mane knows what he wants to do at Wolves this season
Being a player best deployed as a striker or on the wing, Mane could offer Wolves a lot this season.
The 2007-born star has big aspirations, but for the campaign ahead, his primary goal is clear.
Speaking in pre-season, Mane expressed his desire to earn his first start for Wolves.
“Try and get a start this season, that’s my aim now,” he said.
Those in the first team already think so highly of the starlet, with Mane feeling supported by those around him.
Pereira believes the teen has what it takes to impress in the Premier League, making the Portugal-born gem one to watch once the competitive action commences.
