"He's a bit shy" - Wolves boss on defender's 'fight' to get into the team

The £10million summer signing has been unable to take Hugo Bueno's spot in the team so far this season and has only made four appearances and just two starts.

Wolfe has also been left out of the matchday squad on one occasion and although Pereira is pleased with the player's attitude, he admits the Norwegian needs more time to get up to speed.

"He's one of the players that is fighting, fighting and fighting for his position in the best way, showing that he has quality," Pereira said.

"But Hugo is playing at a good level and it depends.

"If he keeps going with his work, expressing himself and proving himself every day, then one day he will have a chance to play for sure."

"He's a bit shy," Pereira added.

"Some players arrive in another world, from a different life in a different league and the Dutch league is different.

"He needs some adaptation here.

"But now it's the time to express himself and he's doing it in the way I like, not with words but on the pitch."

Bueno has done well on his return from loan and has been one of few positives for Wolves this season, as the Spaniard has so far locked down his place.

"Especially the personality because I knew the talent," Pereira said when asked if Bueno had surprised him this season.

"When you play in the Spain national team you must have skills, tactical and technical skills, but I like his personality.

"He has confidence in himself and I like this kind of player.

"If you spend years at a club, of course you will feel the club."
