"This team needs to be in the top 10" - Wolves midfielder makes bold claim

The Zimbabwean midfielder arrived on transfer deadline day at the beginning of February and has helped Wolves move nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Although they are not yet mathematically safe, Vitor Pereira's side are closing in on securing their top flight status.

And Munetsi believes the talent in the team should be far higher up the table than 17th.

"I thought this team needs to be in the top 10," Munetsi said when asked for his first impressions of the squad.

"Sometimes in football you never really know what's going on behind the scenes, but for me I saw the talent even from the first training session.

"I played against JJ and Sarabia in France and players like this should be higher up the table.

"We have to help in any way that we can but the talent is truly there and the coach has so many options in defence, midfield and in attack."

Meanwhile, Munetsi believes his best position will be as a number eight midfielder for Wolves.

Since joining the club he has played as a false nine, number 10 and midfielder in just seven games.

But the Zimbabwean believes his athleticism getting up and down the pitch suits a more central role.

"Since I was a kid my youth coach used to say that I'm a utility player who is able to adjust to certain demands and certain positions," Munetsi said.

"I'm turning 29 this year and I feel being a box-to-box midfielder is what really simplifies my game.

"Being able to defend in our box and being able to get into the opponent's box, chipping in with assists and goals and being aggressive as an eight."
