Marshall Munetsi has wasted no time settling in at Wolves, becoming a popular figure at Molineux following his January transfer.
Vitor Pereira signed Munetsi to bolster his midfield, signing the Zimbabwe international from Stade Reims.
The 28-year-old wasn’t the only talent Wolves captured from the Ligue 1 side in January, also signing Emmanuel Agbadou.
Munetsi spoke highly of Agbadou when he arrived at Molineux and has continued to do so, lifting the lid on life with the Ivorian defender before the pair touched down in the West Midlands.

Marshall Munetsi makes bold Emmanuel Agbadou claim
The two winter signings currently join other members of the Wolves squad on March international duty.
Munesti has been impressing for Zimbabwe during the break, with the hope that his form will carry over to domestic level when play resumes against West Ham.
Before heading off on duty, Munetsi spoke to Express and Star about his start to life at Wolves, where he singled out praise for Agbadou.
“I always joked with him that he is the kind of profile to play in England because he is aggressive and strong, he’s comfortable with the ball,” Munetsi said of his teammate.
“It’s not really a surprise because I was hoping he would move earlier than this, but sometimes we can never really predict or push whenever we’re going to move.”
The midfielder insisted that Agbadou’s impressive start at Wolves comes as no surprise, given what the centre-back was doing in France.
“Everybody in France, they were always afraid of him. I remember one game when we played against PSG and he put Mbappe in his pocket.
“It’s something that you don’t really see all the time but for us, Emmanuel is truly an exceptional player.”
Munetsi praised his Wolves teammate for doing something that very many fail to do, keep Kylian Mbappe quiet.
Agbadou’s record against Kylian Mbappe
For many defenders in France, seeing Mbappe join Real Madrid was a relief however for Agbadou, things might have been seen differently.
Munetsi’s assessment of Agbadou when playing against the Frenchman was correct, as the Wolves star was able to maintain a stellar record when coming up against Mbappe and co.
| Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses |
| 4 | 0 | 3 | 1 |
Agbadou was only on the losing side once in four duels against Paris Saint-Germain when Mbappe was their player.
Mbappe scored a hattrick in the single defeat but otherwise, remained quiet against the Wolves defender, who also wasn’t fazed by Lionel Messi.
Few more than Munetsi understand the talent Wolves acquired by signing Agbadou, who has wasted no time impressing in England.
