Jose Sa of Wolverhampton Wanderers may have a “huge” boost following the international break after writer Dean Jones explained to GIVEMESPORT why he might play a key role in the Molineux team staying in the Premier League.
Sa’s new contract, according to Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs, emphasizes his significance in head coach O’Neil’s intentions, and due to his leadership abilities, negotiations were seen as necessary by influential individuals behind the scenes.
The Portuguese goalkeeper signed the contract even though his previous one, which paid him £25,000 per week, had less than three years left to run.

Sa gave Wolves a big boost last month when he signed a new four-year contract, according to the Express & Star, committing his long-term future to the team.
The goalkeeper, who has played every minute of Premier League action this season without missing a single one, could potentially stay at Molineux until the summer of 2028 if the report’s suggestion that the pact also contains a 12-month option is accurate.
Sa’s new contract, according to Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs, shows how important he is to head coach O’Neil’s intentions, and thanks to Sa’s leadership abilities, key players behind the scenes saw the need for negotiations.
Despite the fact that his previous deal, which paid him £25,000 per week, still had almost three years left in it, the Portuguese shot-stopper signed the papers.
Sa garnered interest during the summer, with Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest among the teams to plot a move. Wolves looked to act before the January market opened for business.
Jones, a transfer insider, recently disclosed to GIVEMESPORT that Wanderers had received formal inquiries on the 30-year-old’s availability, with interested parties looking to capitalize on the Midlands club’s well-publicized financial difficulties causing them to sell key players.
Update on Dean Jones: According to Jose Sa Jones, Wolves manager O’Neil will be looking at the upcoming games against Bournemouth and Sheffield United, which are scheduled for October 21 and November 4, respectively, as prime chances to pick up points and increase their chances of avoiding another relegation battle.
Respected journalist believes Sa could play a key role in boosting confidence in the locker room by maintaining clean sheets against the underachievers, while shutouts would highlight the fact that he was deserving of a new contract.
He is a capable goalie, as we all know. I believe that now that he has a new contract, it will be easier for him to calm down. He wants to play a significant role in the development of this side, and Gary O’Neil’s leadership appears to be moving things in the right direction.
They have matches coming up against Sheffield United and Bournemouth. They might provide Wolves with a foundation to build on in the future. It should clarify where they are in the division this year, in my opinion.
“It will be crucial for Sa if you can keep clean sheets in games like that because it not just gives the squad more confidence.
Sa’s performance in the Premier League has earned him a 7.03 average match rating from WhoScored, which is only topped in the Wolves locker room by Pedro Neto.
In addition, he has led the league in saves this season with 36, placing him second among Premier League goalkeepers after Sheffield United’s Wes Foderingham, who has stopped 45 shots.
