Wolves have suffered a disappointing campaign in 2020-21 after their successes of recent years, and manager Nuno Espirito Santo will want a strong finish to build momentum for next season.

Going into the Premier League game against West Ham on Monday, Wolves were sitting in 14th place, comfortably ahead of the relegation spots but no chance of any honours.

They will certainly be aiming to avoid an unwanted record against the Hammers - they would go three consecutive Premier League matches without scoring for the first time in nine years if they fail to score.

Who is Wolves' highest paid player?

Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio share top spot in the Wolves earners' list, each taking home a weekly pay packet of £100,000 ($138,000), according to Spotrac, an online sports team and player contract website.

Portuguese Moutinho joined Wolves in 2018 on an initial two-year deal from Monaco, since extended to 2022.

Goalkeeper Patricio, another Portugal international, joined from Sporting on a four-year deal in June 2018, with a transfer fee of £15.3 million.
