Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo impressed with Leonardo Campana

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has hinted that Leonardo Campana could soon be provided with an opportunity in the first-team squad.

While Campana was initially signed to begin life at Molineux in the Under-23s, Wolves' failure to bring in experienced backup for Raul Jimenez has led to the youngster training with the first-team squad.

Ahead of Wolves' Premier League meeting with Leicester City on Friday night, Nuno suggests that the 19-year-old may be in contention for a place on the substitutes' bench.

Nuno is quoted by Wolvesbite.com as saying: "He's been training with us. He's finished his participation with the national team and I think he's adapting from the first day I saw him.

"It's about progressing and improving and transforming into a good option for us. He's working well. He's a good player. Hopefully you can see for yourself but I think he's a good option.

"But he's a good backup to have and a player we want to improve and to make him better. This is our philosophy – always trying to bring players that we believe have space for improvement."

Despite his age, Campana has already made four appearances for his country at senior level.
