Sporting Director at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Matt Hobbs, is optimistic that Ivorian defender Emmanuel Agbadou has the qualities to meet the demands in the English Premier League.
According to him, the new signing will be a good fit for the English top-flight league without a doubt.
“Emmanuel’s a winner and he’s driven. After the journey’s had, he’s still unbelievably hungry. He’s the type of player the Wolves fans should love, because you’re going to get absolutely everything he’s got.
“On paper, he should suit the Premier League. There’s plenty of ticks there. Obviously, you’ve always got the settling in period, and it is the hardest league in the world, so it can take time, but he can fall back on his key attributes being akin to the Premier League,” Matt Hobbs said.
The Wolves Sporting Director continued, “The fact that he was on ours and Vitor’s lists shows that he’s well rounded, good on the ball, physically excellent, quick and a good personality. Then being made captain of Reims has really taken his game to the next level, and you can never have enough leaders.”
Wolves signed Emmanuel Agbadou from French side Stade Reims on a four-and-a-half-year deal which contains an additional 12-month option.
He has moved to England after spending the past two-and-a-half seasons playing consistently in Ligue 1.
