Nuno Espirito Santo: 'Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready for new season'

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has claimed that his players are ready for the new Championship season.

The West Midlanders have been prolific in the transfer market this summer, bringing in 11 players to date at a cost of around £19m.

As a result, Wolves are tipped to be among the candidates for automatic promotion, with their season getting under way on Saturday against Middlesbrough at Molineux.

Nuno told the Express & Star: "The players are ready. The quality they have, along with the help from who has been here before, will build a team, not the individual.

"Saturday is the first moment of building a team that we hope will go through good times and improve each day. If you ask me now, we're OK."

Wolves finished 15th in the Championship last season.
