da bet7： With the 2018/19 domestic season now fully done and dusted, international tournaments are starting to dominate the football world.
At the moment the European U21 Championships are taking place, a tournament Wolves’ own Morgan Gibbs-White is part of.
Meanwhile, Rui Patricio, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Diogo Jota were also among Portugal’s Nations League winning squad.
A further member of the Wolves side is on national duty at the Gold Cup too. Raul Jimenez scored twice in Mexico’s opening game which happened to be a 7-0 win over Cuba.
However, one of the club’s transfer targets has also been playing his part.

Earlier this month, Mediotiempo reported that Wolves had an interest in Edson Alvarez, a player who has been a shining light for Club America in Liga MX.
The 21-year-old has been playing alongside Jimenez in the Mexican national team for a while now, earning 22 caps for his country and his latest one came in their second Gold Cup clash against Canada.
During that tie, Alvarez played the full 90 minutes after initially missing the opening game.
Mexico went onto win the match 3-1, brushing aside the Canadians with Alvarez providing the platform from a holding midfield role.
Originally a centre-half, the youngster continues to show his versatility. At the beginning of last season, Alvarez was preferred in defence but as the campaign went on he then featured in midfield.
It’s in that area of the pitch that he’s now being trusted for Mexico too.
Against Canada on Thursday night he helped his country keep 69% of the possession, something which dictates how useful he could be to a Wolves midfield.

Being able to feature in midfield as well as defence shows he’s certainly useful in more ways than one and that’s something that Nuno Santo clearly favours in his side.
A number of his squad are versatile footballers with Romain Saiss and Leander Dendoncker two similar individuals to Alvarez.
The pair can both play in midfield and defence so the Mexican would fit the mould of players already at the club perfectly.
After a woeful World Cup for the Wolves target, he now seems to be on the right track in terms of his development.
