Marshall Munetsi has expressed his delight after he joined Wolves on transfer deadline day from Reims in France on a three-and-a-half-year deal. He has played at Reims since 2019 and became a leader there.

Before deciding to move, he talked to former teammate Emmanuel Agbadou and fellow Zimbabwean Tawanda Chirewa, who both gave him positive feedback.

Speaking to the club’s website on joining Wolves: “I’m delighted. This is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to be part of something big, and joining Wolves is significant for me and my family. The Premier League is the best place to be, and I’m thrilled to join the team.

“I’m excited because this is my first chance to represent a bigger club. There is also a larger Zimbabwean community in England, which will help me feel more at home.”

On his time in France: “When I first arrived, I didn’t expect to stay long, but I really enjoyed my time there. The league is tough, and I gained valuable experience that will help me at Wolves.”

On talking to Chirewa and Agbadou: “Tawanda was excited to hear I’m joining him. Agbadou contacted me too; he was welcomed by me at Reims, so now he gets to welcome me to Wolves.

Wolves recognize Agbadou’s impact—his energy and strength are vital for any top team. He’s been a good friend for three years, so I look forward to playing together.”

On bringing leadership skills:

“Being a leader is challenging, but I believe in supporting and guiding others. I aim to lead by example, both on and off the pitch, and bring these qualities to Wolves based on what I learned at Reims.”
