Wolves Finalize £15M Deal for Agbadou

Wolverhampton Wanderers are finalizing a £15million deal to sign defender Emmanuel Agbadou from Stade de Reims, aiming to bolster their defense after recent struggles. The 27-year-old Ivory Coast international has been a standout performer in Ligue 1 and is expected to be the first signing for new manager Vitor Pereira. Wolves have faced defensive issues this season, particularly after selling Max Kilman and losing Yerson Mosquera to injury, leaving them with the joint-worst defense in the Premier League. Reports indicate that Agbadou's contract with Reims runs until 2028, and his signing could also lead to further defensive reinforcements. Competing interest from Bundesliga clubs, including VfB Stuttgart, highlights the level of demand for Agbadou, who has become a key player for Reims. Wolves, currently 17th in the league, hope to secure a much-needed win against Nottingham Forest soon after Agbadou's arrival.
