WOLVES welcomed midfielder Marshall Munetsi on Monday deadline day to take two players from Stade Reims in the January window.
The Old Gold signed Reims duo Munetsi and Emmanuel Agbadou in the winter market, bolstering Vitor Pereira’s squad defensively.
Agbadou has impressed at centre-back at Wolves while Munetsi arrives as a defence-minded midfielder to offer support to Joao Gomes and Andre.
Munetsi admitted he fulfilled a career dream by making Molineux home, with fans excited to see the 28-year-old in action. Some already believe Munetsi is well-suited to the Premier League as Matt Hobbs gave an insight into what fans can expect from the Zimbabwean.
The former Reims ace brings with him a host of experience from his time in Ligue 1, possessing qualities that could certainly help Pereira at this time.
Wolves wanted to sign a defensive midfielder but had to wait until the deadline day after Manu Silva rejected a move to instead join Benfica.
In Munetsi, Pereira finally has the profile he was seeking in the transfer market, with the 28-year-old sharing one part of his game that will certainly please Wolves fans.
Speaking to the Wolves Express podcast, Munetsi opened up about his leadership qualities and their importance.

“I think as much as we play football we learn a lot, being a leader is something that is not easy,” he said.
“You also need to learn how to help others, how to guide, how to lead by example on the pitch and off the pitch, something that I will also be able to bring to Wolves.”
Having captained Reims at times during his time in France, the Zimbabwe international arrives at Molineux with the qualities needed to support the squad in-game.
It’s a refreshing trait to bring to the current Wolves squad considering that the club’s leaders have been criticised this season.
Such was reflected in the transfer window as Wolves looked to sign Conor Coady, their former captain, to integrate a strong-minded figure into the dressing room.
Leicester didn’t want to let Coady go for that reason, understanding that they’d lose a fundamental leader by allowing the Englishman to return to Molineux.
In Munetsi, Pereira not only has a strong midfielder but also a player capable of wearing the armband, making his transfer an early success. — molineux.news.
