Fer Lopez makes Wolves ambition crystal clear after winning EFL award

Fer Lopez hopes his EFL ‘Goal Hero of the Month’ award can help lay the foundations for Wolves' immediate Premier League return. The 22-year-old struck the matchwinner in September’s fiercely contested Black Country derby against West Brom, pouncing on Nat Phillips’ ill-judged pass to dink the ball over the impressive Max O’Leary. It was the first Black Country derby since that combustible FA Cup tie, and the first in the league since 2021, though that was when both sides were in the Premier League.
