Wolves manager Bruno Lage has heaped praise on youngster Toni Gomes.

The 22-year-old made his debut in the win over Southampton on Saturday.

"He has just trained two or three times with us, working the strategy and the way we play, and we decided to play him instead of changing too many players," Lage told the Express & Star.

"Without Ki-Jana and Marcal we don't have too many players to play there, and I prefer to continue with Leander as a midfielder.

"The kid did very well. It's a question of opportunity for him.

"Two weeks ago he was on his holidays and we needed him, now after two weeks he has a chance to play in the Premier League. It's about opportunities.

"In that moment I preferred to go with him. I don't want to put pressure on him because he's played one game and he's helped us to win this hard game, but he looks like he has potential.

"He is a calm player and it was good. In training we can see this was the best solution for the game."
