Alious**Marshall Munetsi Joins Wolves After Deadline Day Deal**
Marshall Munetsi has officially joined Wolverhampton Wanderers, sealing a dramatic deadline-day move from Ligue 1 side Stade Reims. Wolves also secured defender Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims, making it a double swoop from the French club. Munetsi signed a three-and-a-half-year contract, bringing his impressive form—six goal contributions in the 2024/25 season—into Vitor Pereira’s midfield setup.
**Wolves Finally Land Their Midfield Target**
After weeks of negotiations, Wolves successfully finalized the deal with Reims, a move Munetsi had long aspired to as he set his sights on playing in the Premier League. The club’s persistence paid off, as they even sent officials to France to ensure everything was wrapped up before the transfer deadline.
**Matt Hobbs Provides Insight on Munetsi’s Role at Wolves**
Following Munetsi’s unveiling, Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs shared his excitement about the new signing. Speaking to the club’s official website, Hobbs highlighted Munetsi’s versatility and readiness for Premier League football:
*”It was important for us that Vitor has multiple options in midfield. Marshall is a dynamic, all-around midfielder who’s physically built for the demands of the Premier League,”* Hobbs explained.
Hobbs also emphasized how Munetsi’s familiarity with Agbadou, his former Reims teammate, could ease his transition into the squad:
*”Having played alongside Agba, who’s already settled well here, Marshall will have the support he needs. We’re confident he’ll adapt quickly and become an important option for Vitor.”*
**A Big Loss for Stade Reims, A Big Gain for Wolves**
Munetsi’s departure is a significant blow for Reims, where he became a key figure since joining from South African giants Orlando Pirates in 2019. His rapid rise in European football speaks volumes about his talent and work ethic.
Reims will certainly feel the absence of the 28-year-old, who contributed heavily on both ends of the pitch. His defensive resilience, attacking flair, and leadership qualities made him indispensable in Ligue 1, and Wolves are eager to see him replicate that impact at Molineux.
**What Munetsi Brings to Wolves**
Munetsi’s blend of physicality, tactical awareness, and goal-scoring ability will offer Wolves much-needed depth in midfield. His versatility allows him to play both as a box-to-box midfielder and in a more defensive role, providing Pereira with tactical flexibility.
After months of planning and hard work, Wolves have secured a player who fits perfectly into their system. Now, all eyes will be on Munetsi as he begins his Premier League journey, with fans hopeful he can make an immediate impact.
