On Thursday, Wolves announced that they had signed Ivory Coast defender Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims for £16.6 million ($20.3 million), their first acquisition under new manager Vitor Pereira.
With an option for a one-year extension, the 27-year-old defender has committed to a four-and-a-half-year deal at Molineux. Before to Reims, Agbadou played for Eupen in the Belgian Pro League after starting his career at Monastir in Tunisia.
He has spent the last two and a half seasons with the Ligue 1 team, and this season he is the team’s captain.
In addition to being a strong player, I enjoy playing football and lead the defense. The coach informed me of this as well, so I’m here to assist him with my leadership, he said. “I believe I can use this leadership for this team,” he said.
The new recruit was hailed by Sporting director Matt Hobbs, who said, “Emmanuel is a winner and he’s driven.” Even after his adventure, he still feels incredibly hungry.
You’re going to get all he has, which is why Wolves supporters should like him as a player.
After Gary O’Neil was fired last month, Pereira was appointed manager.
Following a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Monday, the squad is now above the Premier League relegation zone on goal differential.
