The 20-year-old made eight Premier League appearances for Gary O’Neil’s side – with seven of those coming from the bench.

Chirewa, who was born in Chelmsford, made his international debut for Zimbabwe last week and scored his first goal in the 3-1 defeat to South Africa in a World Cup qualifier.

 

In a season where Wolves fought for Europe and in the latter stages of the FA Cup, before fizzling out, who were their star performers in 2023/24 based on player ratings?

We have looked back on our marks throughout the season and given each player an average score.

The Express & Star gave ratings for all 45 games and only those who got marks for at least 22 games were included, meaning Santi Bueno, Hugo Bueno and Boubacar Traore just missed out.

 

Pedro Neto – 7.14

Although the winger only started 18 Premier League games due to two serious hamstring injuries, he was excellent when he played.

Often the catalyst for Wolves’ good attacking moves, Neto was in magnificent form and it is a huge shame that injuries halted him.

Matheus Cunha – 6.71

A total of 14 goals and eight assists in all competitions means Cunha had a brilliant campaign and easily the best season of his career to date.

It is no surprise to see the £43million attacker high on this list.

Mario Lemina – 6.62

Voted the supporters’ player of the season, Lemina was always going to have a good average score after an impressive season.

Nelson Semedo – 6.61

Voted the players’ player of the season, Semedo was also expected to come in high on this list after his best season in a Wolves shirt.

He was a beacon of consistency throughout 2023/24 and deserves credit for his performances.

Max Kilman – 6.51
