Ruben Neves' odds slashed to win PFA Young Player of the Year
Ruben Neves has seen his odds slashed to win PFA Young Player of the Year award, following the midfielder's strong start to the season.
The Portuguese international is proving the most popular bet with punters ahead of favourites Raheem Sterling and Naby Keita.
In total, Neves has attracted 36% of all bets over the past week, with punters piling on following the 1-0 away win at West Ham.
That’s resulted in bookies cutting odds on him winning the accolade, from 25/1 into as short as 12/1 to be crowned top youngster.
Elsewhere, Raheem Sterling is favourite to scoop the award at 5/1, followed by Naby Keita (7/1), Leroy Sane (9/1), Gabriel Jesus (10/1) and Richarlison (11/1).
Neves announced himself on the Premier League scene in dramatic fashion when scoring a stunning free kick on opening day in the 2-2 draw with Everton.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “The star of Wolves’ return to the big time, Neves drew rave reviews in the Championship, and that momentum is more than carrying over to the Premier League.
“He’s being heavily backed to make a splash in his first season in the top division, with over a third of all bets being placed on the 21-year-old taking the title off last year’s winner Leroy Sane.”
