Wolves confirm £16m defender deal

Wolves have confirmed the signing of centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou from Ligue 1 side Reims.

The 27-year-old has become Vitor Pereira's first signing as Wolves boss, and addresses a key position for the Old Gold, who have been a centre-back light so far this season after selling Max Kilman to West Ham.

He joins in a deal believed to be worth £16.6m, according to Sky Sports News and has signed a four-and-a-half year deal, which includes an option for another season.

An Ivory Coast international, Agbadou appeared 80 times for Reims, including 14 this season.
