Goals and assists are what Nuno Espirito Santo wants from Bright Enobakhare – and the youngster will hope to deliver in tonight’s FA Cup replay at Swansea.

Wolves travel to Wales looking to secure a fourth-round tie away at Notts County.

Nuno is expected to ring the changes at the Liberty Stadium with the likes of Will Norris, Danny Batth, Alfred N’Diaye and Morgan Gibbs-White hoping to feature.

Youngster Enobakhare is likely to start and the Nigerian said Nuno had made it clear what he wants from him.

“Especially goals!” he told the Express & Star. “And assists. He’s always telling me ‘goals and assists’ to make me a better quality player, which I’ll be working on.”

Enobakhare hasn’t netted since the 2-1 win over Barnsley in September, which at the time was his second in successive games.

The 19-year-old believes he’s made big strides under Nuno this season and he’s also learning from training with the likes of Diogo Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro and Helder Costa.

“I think I’ve learned a lot and improved as well,” he said of life under Nuno.

“Every day in training, we learn so much. You can see around the team everyone is different to last year.

“Training wise he’s improved me, practising.

“In the gym...last year everyone was in the dressing room on their phone. This year everyone always goes to the gym and does different things.

“They all add up to improvements.

“Jota, Cavaleiro, Costa, they’re very good players and every day we learn things from each other.

“They’re top players. It’s good to play with quality players and they’ll always tell me, make a quick decision or things like that, it’s really helpful to have your teams mates to help you.”

With a Championship clash against Nottingham Forest coming up on Saturday the squad will be rotated.

Teenager Enobakhare said everyone had to be ready if called upon tonight.

“Everyone has to switch on because you don’t know what’s coming, you don’t know what the gaffer’s going to say, so we all have to switch on and be ready,” he said.

“Working with the coach you have to be switched on because he’s always telling us don’t give up. When you come on you have to do what he says to do and that will help the team as well.

“Because he believes in his players and trusts us, we just have to give all we have.

“It’s like a family. We all have to trust each other and we’ll go far.

“It’s not just the coach, it’s everyone. They play a big part for us and makes everyone’s job easier. We keep learning every day and hopefully we’ll get to the top.”
