The Brazilian joined Wolves in January last year for £43million and played a part in the club avoiding relegation, despite struggling for goals.

This season, the 24-year-old has impressed for O’Neil’s side with six goals and five assists in 20 Premier League games and the head coach says the forward has full belief in his ability.
