Vitor Pereira has say on future of Wolves star

The 23-year-old has 11 goal contributions in 34 Premier League games this season but only has one year left on his deal, while the club hold the option of extending that by a further season.

Wolves are eager to keep him, amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, and are prepared to offer him a new deal to keep him in the Midlands, but if he does not commit to a contract then the club may be forced to cash in on him.

Regardless of the contract situation and the likelihood of Matheus Cunha departing, Pereira is determined to keep his best players together and wants Ait-Nouri to be a key part of next season.

"He's a top player and we want to keep our best players," Pereira said.

"Because we are in a good moment, the players feel the confidence.

"When a team has good energy and a moment where we can compete, if you are achieve six wins in a row, people start to speak about the players individually, because they deserve it.

"I listen to a lot of players (linked) to Wolves for next season and almost all of them I've never heard of! This is football.

"I believe that the target is to keep our best players. We don't want to bring too many players because I don't want to start again from the beginning, but bring players for the position we need to be stronger next season."

"He's a top player," Pereira added when asked how important Ait-Nouri is to his team.

"He can give us a lot, even more than this season, because I believe next season he can be a player to create different solutions and I will do it with him."
