Mateus Mane has been on the radar as a bright, young prospect at Wolves for some time and his impact at first-team level has been immediate.
Following some promising cameos from the bench, the former Rochdale academy player has started all of Wolves' past four Premier League games. They have yielded five points for his team and two goals expertly taken by the 18-year-old.
Admittedly much quieter than he had been in the 3-0 win against West Ham – boss Rob Edwards said afterwards that he “wasn’t 100% in terms of his energy” – Portugal-born Mane provided one of the few moments of real attacking quality that Wolves produced against Everton.
The England Under-18 international showed wonderful poise to net Wolves' equaliser past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. After a terrific first touch to control Jorgen Strand Larsen's pass that put him through on goal, there appeared little doubt that he would find the bottom corner with his second.
He is now Wolves' joint-leading goalscorer in league fixtures this season.
One of Mane's most noticeable attributes is his willingness to run at defences with the ball and with pace – something which had been sadly lacking for much of the first half of the campaign.
He leads his team for most dribbles attempted per 90 minutes (4.83) of players who have made more than one league appearance this term.
Also, Mane is the only Wolves player averaging more than one shot on target per 90 minutes of Premier League action this season (1.41).
The sample size may be small at this stage, but Mane's introduction to Wolves' starting XI has certainly made a positive difference.
