The Express & Star journalist Liam Keen has been left buzzing over some news from Wolves regarding Joao Moutinho.

The Lowdown: New deal

As per the Molineux club's official website, the 35-year-old has now put pen to paper on a new one-year deal, as his contract was set to expire this summer.

The veteran midfielder was reportedly considering a move away from the Premier League club, but now he is set to stay for at least another season.

The Latest: Keen buzzing

Taking to Twitter, Keen was left buzzing after the news came out, claiming that Moutinho's new contract is 'excellent' for Wolves.

The reporter tweeted: "Excellent news as Joao Moutinho has agreed a one-year deal to stay at Wolves. He will report back for pre-season training on Wednesday."

The Verdict: Right call

There are always likely to be question marks over whether Moutinho can still perform at the highest level at 35 years of age.

Nonetheless, he was a mainstay in Bruno Lage's side last season, only missing three games in total (top-half finish in the Premier League.

In the top flight, the Portugal international scored two goals and supplied one assist, picking up two man-of-the-match awards, and he ranked highly among his team-mates in terms of average tackles, interceptions, blocks, key passes, crosses and long balls per match (WhoScored).

Moutinho remains a key player for the Old Gold, so he is deserving of his new deal, and it's no wonder that Keen is so thrilled by this news from Molineux.
