Adam Armstrong shares what he’s been told about the Wolves player still at the club

Adam Armstrong is buzzing with excitement after sealing his move to Wolverhampton Wanderers, becoming the first signing under new manager Rob Edwards.

The 28-year-old striker has penned a three-year deal, arriving from Southampton for a tidy £7 million. For Armstrong, this isn’t just another transfer; it’s a chance to be part of something big at Molineux.

While he sees himself primarily as a number nine, his ability to play off the sides gives Wolves some much-needed flexibility in attack.

Armstrong’s record speaks for itself. With 15 Championship goal contributions last season and 11 in the current campaign, he’s shown he can deliver when it matters.

For Wolves, the Englishman’s signing feels like a statement of intent. Rob Edwards, who has long admired the striker, believes Armstrong is exactly what the team needs right now.

“Adam’s really excited to be here. He’s a competitor and he’s got something about him that we need now. He was really keen to come and join Wolves, and wants to play for Wolves, so it’s a really good day for the club getting him in.”

Adam Armstrong wants a fresh start at Molineux

Now, his focus is firmly on Wolves and the opportunities ahead. Armstrong is already feeling at home at Molineux, a place he’s only known as an opponent until now.

He had this to say, via Wolves YouTube.

“Molineux is amazing. As an opposition player, Molineux’s a nice stadium, a good atmosphere, big pitch and they’re only fond memories, but not for me because we’ve always been beaten here, but I’m excited,” he admitted with a chuckle.

Wolves may have found their new leader

Armstrong isn’t just bringing goals to Wolves; he’s bringing leadership.

This is something that has been missing at Molineux this season, especially under Vitor Pereira, despite him picking a Wolves leadership group of four players.

“I like to think I’m a leader and I can help the boys on and off the pitch.

“I don’t think the lads will need much help here with that. I’ve heard it’s a great group and I’m excited to get involved and hopefully chip in with a few goals.”
