Some Wolves fans have been discussing midfielder Vitinha on social media, and the start he’s had at the club.

The 20-year-old is currently still struggling for minutes at Molineux having arrived in the summer on a season-long loan from FC Porto.

The Portugal U21s star has made 11 appearances so far, but only started twice in the Premier League – against Manchester United and Brighton – and in the EFL Cup defeat to Stoke City.

The youngster has offered glimpses and shown good technical quality.

But at this point there is certainly a lot of work for him to do if he is to turn his move to the Black Country permanent.

But his quest for regular minutes has seemingly just gotten a fair bit harder, with the club choosing to bring Morgan Gibbs-White back from his loan spell with Swansea City.
