Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has dismissed suggestions that his side could challenge for a top-six finish in the Premier League next season.
Having earned promotion back to the top-flight, the men from Molineux impressed in finishing in seventh place last season, securing a spot in the Europa League this term.
We are not fighting for the top six.

However, Nuno has played down talk of a challenge even higher up the standings being a realistic prospect in the coming months.
The Wolves supremo told the Telegraph: "We are not fighting for the top six. What happened last season, we can only repeat that if we work harder and dedicate more. The players know that.
"We have to improve, I feel we can improve, but we have to add players to compete. It's not on our horizon to compete for the top six, we can only try to play good football."
Wolves are priced at 7/2 to finish in the top six next season, with Everton available at 7/2 and Leicester City 4/1.
Meanwhile, Nuno has admitted that finding the quality of player needed to help his squad is no easy task.
The Portuguese added: "We need to bring in more, but we are only to bring in players who add quality to the squad. When you are trying to do that, it takes time.
"We are getting close to the window closing and it is hard, especially for us who are trying to add quality not quantity.
"The market is out of normal, prices are going up and up but we need to be strong and bring in the players we have identified."
