Wolves last night confirmed the signing of Noha Lemina, who joins the club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain for the rest of the season.
Wanderers finally made their first signing of the window, with the 18-year-old joining the club after a disappointing spell at Sampdoria. Noha made just one cameo appearance for the Italian club’s first-team, before spending the rest of his time with the reserves.
Wolves have signed Noha on loan, and apparently the player will decide whether it becomes permanent in the summer.
Gary O’Neil spoke about the youngster at his press conference on Wednesday ahead of the Manchester United, and gave an encouraging verdict.
There was also a reaction to the signing from Noha’s brother Mario Lemina…

Noha was announced as a new Wolves player last night having undergone his medical tests yesterday morning.
Matt Hobbs said of the teenager: “Noha’s an exciting, quick and direct winger. He has good technical ability and had a great football education at PSG. It’s an opportunity for him to get a feel for us and we can assess him. He’ll improve under Gary like all our players do, and Gary and his staff will get a real opportunity to develop him, which will give us an idea on what we do going forward.”
The club’s sporting director said several times that there is no pressure on Noha, seemingly suggesting that Noha may well have the ultimate decision whether to turn his move permanent.
It will be very interesting to see how he gets on, but it will no doubt be good for him having Mario around to held him settle.
Mario obviously knows Noha extremely well, and appeared to suggest that the club have landed a real talent, as he reacted on Instagram last night.
Mario also added an emotional touch to his message, mentioning their father who sadly passed away recently. He wrote via his Instagram Story: “Get ready ASAP @lemsn10 Dad would be so proud of you. Thank you to the @Wolves family. Dream come true. 100% commitment not less.”
Good luck, Noha
So Wolves have confirmed Noha’s signing and it will be very interesting to watch his journey unfold.
It’s great that he’s come in, as it sounds like he’s a really bright young talent, given what O’Neil and Hbbs have said.
Hopefully, he has the same kind of determination and work ethic as his older brother. If he does, then he’ll have a very good chance of becoming a success at Molineux.
