Wolves are looking to reverse their fortunes in the latter part of the season with new manager Vitor Pereira at the helm.
The team has faced significant challenges throughout the campaign, hovering just above the Premier League relegation zone.
After a series of lackluster performances, Gary O’Neil was sacked shortly before the holiday season, making way for Pereira, who has been tasked with ensuring Wolves remain in the top flight.
Pereira has made an encouraging start since taking charge, securing four wins across various competitions.
His next test comes in the FA Cup, where Wolves will take on Blackburn Rovers. Pereira is likely to name a strong starting lineup, similar to the one he fielded against Bristol City in the previous round.
One player expected to feature prominently is Emmanuel Agbadou, who has quickly impressed club icon Steve Bull with his standout performances.
During the January transfer window, Wolves were on the hunt for a new central defender and acted decisively to sign Agbadou from Reims.
They also brought in Nasser Djiga from Red Star Belgrade on the final day of the window.
Since joining, Agbadou has made five appearances and already looks like a shrewd acquisition for the team.
The Ivorian international has primarily played on the left side of defense but demonstrated his adaptability by shifting to a central role against Aston Villa.
Regardless of where he’s deployed, Agbadou has consistently delivered reliable performances, giving fans hope that he could be key to shoring up the defense.
In his recent column for the Express & Star, Steve Bull heaped praise on Agbadou, calling him an “unbelievable player” and suggesting he could be a game-changer for Wolves’ season.
Despite being new to the Premier League, Agbadou’s early showings indicate he was a smart signing.
His impact has already earned him the Wolves Player of the Month award for January, underscoring how quickly he has settled in at Molineux.
Wolves’ defense has been a weak point this season, but Agbadou’s arrival could signal a shift.
The 27-year-old brings much-needed pace, athleticism, and a physical presence well-suited to the demands of English football.
His robust, no-frills defending has also earned praise from peers, with Marshall Munetsi noting that every team benefits from a player of Agbadou’s quality.
Fortunately for Wolves, they now have such a player in their ranks.
