5 most surprising clubs in Europe this season

#1 Wolves (English Premier League)

Chelsea FC v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

Arguably the biggest revelation in all of Europe this season, Wolverhampton Wanderers blew all away en route their Championship triumph last season, but few could have predicted just how well the club would make the transition to the top-flight.

Under the management of Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves have defied expectations and are currently 'the best of the rest', occupying 7th spot on the Premier League table while also being through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

They have been the biggest bogey team to the top six sides, having posted victories against Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, while also holding Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal to draws.

Virtually of their summer signings have impressed including Diego Jota, Rui Patricio, Joao Moutinho, Jonny Castro and Wilfred Boly, but perhaps none has been as instrumental as former Atletico Madrid castaway Raul Jimenez who was signed on loan from Benfica.

The Mexican forward has starred with 12 goals and seven assists from 32 Premier League appearances while also weighing in with three goals in the FA Cup and it is little wonder that the club triggered his release clause of £32.6m to make him a permanent Wolves player effective July 1 2019.
