"The quality is obvious here" - Wolves leader believes in strong 2025/26

Vitor Pereira's side are enjoying a six-game winning run and are now up to 13th in the Premier League table following a season that has largely been dominated by a relegation battle.

Semedo may not be part of the group next year with his contract up in the summer and his future uncertain, but he insists the team has enough quality to fight higher up the table next season.

“For sure, definitely, because the quality is here, I think the quality is obvious here," Semedo said when asked if the current form can be replicated in the next campaign.

“We didn’t start the way you want to start, but at the end with this quality and with the ambition that these guys have, it's easier to get to the point that you start to win and we started to win because the quality has always been there.

“Now we have the team spirit as well showing outside and everything together makes what we're doing now."

Semedo and his team-mates can also look towards examples elsewhere in the division of teams that have successfully challenged.

He added: “Yes, Nottingham are doing really well and are one of the examples that you said, they are fighting for the Champions League places.

“Why can’t we do that as well? We just have to make sure that we do the things well, as a group of football players, as a staff, do the right things to make sure that we put the club in the level where we want it to be."

A huge part of Wolves' success under Pereira has been the clean sheets and defensive rigidity, but the head coach has also made sure the goals have kept flowing.

Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen now have 15 and 13 league goals respectively and Semedo is full of praise for the goals they have scored and also their selfless work for the team.

“They've been doing really, really well," Semedo added.

“With strikers we look at goals and assist numbers, but the way they help the team without the ball is very important as well and the way they make the team play.

“Matheus can carry the team from the back to the front and Jorgen is winning the balls, fighting for all the balls and winning all that stuff is very important for our game.

“So I think they're doing really well and I hope they keep going this way.”
