Mario Lemina has dropped a potentially exciting hint about his younger brother Noha, after he signed on for Wolves from Paris Saint-Germain.
It was a quiet window for Wanderers, with financial restrictions preventing Wolves from doing anything too noteworthy.
But Noha Lemina was brought on loan for the rest of the season, with the club holding an option to buy the youngster permanently.
Today, Wolves have released behind-the-scenes footage of the day Noha signed his contract at Wolves, with his older brother Mario – who gave an emotional reaction on social media to the move last week – showing him around.
And the Molineux midfield general made one interesting comment as Noha met Pedro Neto in the canteen…
New Wolves signing Noha Lemina may have similar pace to Pedro Neto
Wolves have today released a video on their YouTube channel documenting Noha’s first day at Compton Park and Molineux.
The youngster – dubbed ‘an exciting young talent’ by Gary O’Neil – officially completed his move the day before transfer deadline day, and fans are hoping to see him in the first-team at some point.
Matt Hobbs said when he signed that there is zero pressure on Noha, and that it is very much a case of seeing how he gets on. He’s likely to play some games with the U21s, but train with the first-team and hopefully get some minutes from Gary O’Neil eventually.
In the video Wolves released, Noha arrives at Compton with family members, and meets various staff members.
He then makes his way into the canteen, with Mario introducing him to everyone there.
The likes of Max Kilman, Dan Bentley, Nelson Semedo, and Joe Hodge all greet the 18-year-old, as does Pedro Neto.
Neto is arguably the fastest player at Wolves these days, and as Neto and Noha met, Mario can be heard saying ‘We will see if you’re faster than him!’
Hopefully we’ll be seeing Noha Lemina’s pace for the first-team
Videos like this that Wolves put out about new signings are always interesting.
It is going to be intriguing to see how Noha gets on, and hopefully it won’t be long before he is able to offer something for the first-team, which doesn’t have huge depth at the moment.
It sounds like he’s a very fast player, and potentially he could fit in nicely with the way Wolves are playing at the moment.
Gary O’Neil has had major success with his speedy front three of Neto, Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan, so perhaps Mario’s younger brother stands to do quite well when he’s finally ready.
