Nathan Collins is targeting European qualification with Wolves next season.
The Ireland international last week completed his €24m switch from relegated Burnley and flew out for a pre-season training camp in Alicante.
Wolves might have finished 10th in the Premier League last season - but Collins believes they are good enough to challenge the top sides for a place in Europe.

“This season I want to push for Europe, I think as a group we all want that,” said the Leixlip native.
“That should be the minimum of what we want to push for, but if we do that, we can push on again and keep getting better as a team over the next five years.”
Collins (21) added that he had settled in quickly with his new teammates, thanks in part to his former Ireland Under-21 teammate Connor Ronan.
Ronan enjoyed an impressive loan spell at St Mirren last season and is looking to break into the first-team under Bruno Lage this year.
“I played with (Ronan) a few times with Ireland. It was good, he helped me out to start with,” said Collins.
“It was better to come in now for the camp, there’s nobody else to talk to other than the lads, and it was the best chance to get to know them.
“It was really good, I really enjoyed it. Everyone was so welcoming, it looks like a really well-run club.”
He added: “I played against Wolves twice last season and saw the style of play, and I think it complements my style of play.
“I saw the team and saw there was something to build on, and I think there’s something to chase as a team. We have high aspirations and I’m looking forward to the season.
“I can’t wait, I need to get back playing football, I missed it over the break.
“The Premier League’s one of the best, I really enjoy the challenge of it, so I want to get back playing as soon as.”
