Speaking on the club’s website after officially welcoming the Ivorian defender, president Jeff Shi explain: “We are delighted to welcome Emmanuel to the club. He is a player that our recruitment team has had our eye on for a long time and Vito believes he is the right player and the right role to now strengthen our squad.
“It’s important that we get the transfer done as early as possible in the transfer window to help Vito immediately, and, like all transfers, this one requires a lot of effort from a lot of people. I wish Emmanuel a successful time at Wolves He will have the full support of everyone here in his career.”
