Taylor Perry has hailed new Wolves head coach Bruno Lage, claiming the squad is buying his ideas.

The 20-year-old was one of few standout players from Saturday's pre-season defeat at Crewe Alexandra, gaining 45 minutes in the tank.

Lage joined the Wanderers in the summer, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo, and has kickstarted the process of transforming the club to his own.

This summer hands Perry a huge opportunity to impress the coaching staff and potentially follow in the footsteps of Morgan Gibbs-White and represent the first team.

"A new manager has come in, so the first I want to do is impress him and show him what I can do, so that's my main objective, just to stay focused, keep proving that I'm good enough to play in the first-team and hopefully I've caught the eye and I'll continue to do that and see what happens."

"Everyone's buying into it"

Questions were indeed raised when Portugeuse head coach Lage was appointed as the new man at Molineux, but his record employment seeing him lift the Portugal Liga NOS with Benfica was a telling reason in his employment.

After two weeks of intense training and one game under his belt, Perry has praised the new boss: "He's a good manager, he has his new ways, new tactics and everyone's buying into that."

He added: "It's a new strategy for us and we've got to bond together as a team. We try to do that on the pitch and in training.

"Training's been very good, a high intensity, and we have to try take that into the games and keep doing that throughout pre-season."

On Tuesday, Wolves travel to Marbella for a warm summer cap where they will face Real Betis on Saturday and Las Palmas on Monday. 

"It's going to be hot, but we've just got to keep doing what we're doing at Compton.

"We'll just keep having the right ways of playing, buying into Bruno's way. of playing."
