Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of Ivorian centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou from Stade De Reims on a four-and-a-half-year contract with an option for a further year for a reported €20m.
This statement was confirmed by globally acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano in a statement on X:
“Wolves have signed all documents to bring in Emmanuel Agbadou as new centre back, deal sealed and story confirmed. €20m package add-ons included from Reims, contract valid for the next five years and a half option included. New centre back for Vitor Pereira.”
The towering centre-back has been on the books of Reims since the start of the 2022/2023 season. Prior to his time in the French top flight, he represented K.A.S. Eupen and US Monastir in the Belgian and Tunisian professional leagues respectively.
He has been a first-choice central defender at Reims over the past two and half years at the French club. He is a valuable addition to the leaky defence of relegation-threatened Wolves FC and has conceded the highest number of goals in the EPL this season. Good luck in the English top flight!
