Bright Enobakhare could be 'worth a fortune' says Wolves boss

The 19-year-old was handed his first start since February 14 for yesterday's 1-0 win over Preston.

And he impressed in the number 10 role, getting into great positions and twice coming close to scoring.

Lambert said: "I've waxed lyrical about Bright since I've been at the club. He's a young kid, huge talent and he's a player.

"I always think, I was young myself and I needed a manager to put an arm around us when things were maybe a little bit difficult. And he's the same.

"He's not from this country either, his culture is different. But he's a huge talent so you say just keep going, you don't worry about missing the chances. He makes people look silly.

"I've got a lot of time for him, he just needs an arm around him and that's when he's at his best."

Enobakhare hit the post in the second half and then spurned a one-on-one chance, after which Lambert put a consoling arm around the youngster.

After joking that he'd told Enobakhare he'd be fined for the miss, Lambert said that if the youngster could start providing an end product he'd be a very special player indeed – just like a former German international that the Scot won the Champions League alongside.

"Once he gets that end product...I've always said to him, a number 10...I played with a number 10 who was probably the best player I played with, a guy called Andreas Moller," Lambert added.

"Andi was incredible, and he had an assist and a goal threat – as England will probably know in the Euros when he scored that penalty (in Euro 96) which I was delighted with!

"Andi was a number 10 that could score and get assists. If Bright gets that in his game then that guy will be worth a fortune.

"He's a huge talent and hopefully if he’s nurtured right, this club with have one hell of a player.

"He could have scored, but the important thing for me is that he was always there to try, he was always there to make things happen.

"I thought his general game was very good. Bright’s a young lad learning his trade and he’s playing in a big stadium in front of a big crowd, when he misses a chance, it’s important that nobody gets on his back because he’s trying to make it happen.

"Big compliments to him, I thought he was excellent."
