Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo remains fully focused on his job at Molineux despite being linked with the vacant manager's job at Everton.

The Portuguese manager is reported to have been approached about taking over at Goodison Park following the sacking of former boss Ronald Koeman.

Nuno, who took over at Wolves in May after a season in charge of Porto, has since made an impressive start to life in the Championship with his side currently sitting top of the table after 15 games.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has rejected speculation linking him with the Everton job, insisting he is committed to his role at Molineux.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of Friday's Sky Live clash with Fulham, he said: "When we joined Wolves in the summer we came with commitment of something important, a big challenge.

"Since the first day we have been working really hard on that.

"The same thing that I ask my players is that every day is a day of hard work and only one focus, which is the club, what we want to build, how we want to perform. If I ask my players that, that applies to me also.
