Exclusive: Wolves new boy reveals how he wants to thank fans

The 20-year-old arrived in a late deadline day deal this summer, arriving on loan from Ajax with the option of purchasing him permanently for €13.5million.

Gary O'Neil was keen to make that late move for the 20-year-old, with the idea of bringing a different dynamic to the Wolves squad.

Since losing Pedro Neto in the summer, Wolves were without a direct wide replacement. They needed someone who is on the front foot, exciting and aggressive with a skilful left foot.

Although he is young and will need time to adapt, Forbs is just that. His experience is limited and he is raw, but he has bags of talent.

"I'm very happy to be back in England," Forbs told the Express & Star.

"Since I've joined Wolves the players have been great, treated me like family and I feel at home. I'm happy.

"Wolves are in the Premier League, have talented players and I like their style of play.

"It's a new challenge, new beginnings and one I wanted to take.

"It's nice that they believe in my skills and abilities.

"Everyone is family and they have welcomed me very nicely. I get along with everyone, it wasn't a problem to fit in.

"The captain Mario has helped me the most, but everyone has been top.

"They've told me about their journeys and it's nice to know your team-mates."

Forbs made that late flight from Amsterdam to complete his medical and sign on the dotted line.

After two brief substitute appearances, his big moment came in the recent home game against Liverpool when he was introduced in the 52nd minute.

As a player keen to take opposition defenders on, run in behind with blistering pace and get fans off their seats, he is the closest Wolves have had to Neto, or less recently, Adama Traore.

"I like to play one-v-one, be direct and help my team as much as possible," Forbs added.

"That's what I strive to do and get better every day.

"It's my first Premier League season and I'm enjoying it so far.

"You get to test yourself and improve every day, because you're playing against big players. That's what you dream of.

"I'm enjoying myself and the fans have been brilliant.

"It's nice to know when I get the ball that the crowd starts going mental, I now just need to put the ball in the back of the net and go celebrate with them!

"We have a long season ahead, hopefully I'll score a couple goals and I'm sure they will sing a song for me."

Forbs earned his first start at Wolves against Brentford last time out and the club hope there will be more to come from a player who enjoyed his footballing education at Wolves' next opponents, Manchester City.

Born in Portugal, Forbs moved to England as a child, where he joined the City academy.

He was a stand-out performer in City's impressive youth sides throughout the age groups, prompting Wolves to keep a keen eye on him before he eventually moved to Ajax permanently in 2023.

"It was my first professional senior season and it was great, I enjoyed my time at Ajax," Forbs said.

"We didn't finish where we wanted to finish but I enjoyed the experience and it helped me to develop.

"It was a great experience and I thank them for that.

"Ajax is one of the biggest clubs in Holland and the world, so the expectations and demands are quite high.

"But as a footballer that's your job and what you have to deal with, it's normal."

Forbs will hope to keep his place in the team when Wolves face City this weekend, in an effort to lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League table.

He added: "City is a very good club and I had good moments there.

"They helped me become the player I am today and I've now moved forward onto bigger and better things.

"I'm looking forward to every single game in the Premier League and City will just be another game.

"Hopefully we can get a good result."

Forbs names his parents as a personal inspiration and, like all Portuguese footballers, names national hero Cristiano Ronaldo as his footballing inspiration.

But the winger is forging his own path back in England and has high aspirations.

For now, he is focused on returning Wolves to winning ways.

He said: "It's a great opportunity to get my name out there but more importantly I want to help the team and my ability will come naturally.

"We're in a tough phase but we're still together in the changing room.

"This is just a phase and in football it changes quickly.

"We will have a game every week to prove ourselves and get better, which is what we'll do."
