Wolves Sign Ivory Coast Defender Emmanuel Agbadou on Four-and-a-Half-Year Deal

Wolverhampton: Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Ivory Coast defender and Stade de Reims captain Emmanuel Agbadou on a four-and-a-half-year deal, which contains an additional 12-month option, the Premier League club announced on Thursday. Agbadou moved to the Premier League after having spent the past two-and-a-half seasons playing consistently in Ligue 1. The 27-year-old Ivorian centre-back became the first addition to the squad under head coach Vitor Pereira. Wolves chairman Jeff Shi welcomed Emmanuel to the club and said, “He’s a player our recruitment team has watched for a long time and Vitor agreed that he was the right player and the right character to strengthen our squad now. It was important we completed the transfer early in the window to help Vitor straight away, and, like all transfers, this one took a lot of hard work from a lot of people.” IANS
