    What's the story

    Wolverhampton Wanderers have pulled off a successful signing in the form of Emmanuel Agbadou.

    The 27-year-old central defender from Reims has signed a £16.6 million deal, which includes a four-and-a-half year contract at Molineux, with an optional 12-month extension.

    The signing is the first under Vitor Pereira's leadership at Wolves.

    Wolves, who are looking to fight and secure safety in the Premier League, have bolstered their defensive unit.

    High praise

    Wolves's sporting director praises Agbadou's determination

    Wolves's sporting director Matt Hobbs, has also lauded Agbadou's determination and winning mentality.

    "Emmanuel's a winner and he's driven," Hobbs said.

    The sporting director further highlighted the player's hunger for success despite his journey so far, predicting that Agbadou will quickly become a fan favorite due to his all-in approach on the pitch.

    Team changes

    Agbadou's signing follows Kilman's departure and Mosquera's injury

    The need for a new defender was felt after Wolves sold their captain Max Kilman to West Ham last summer for £40 million.

    The situation was further complicated when Yerson Mosquera sustained a season-ending knee injury in September.

    Agbadou's addition will help the team's defense during this challenging period.
