MARSHALL Munetsi could make his debut in the FA Cup against Blackburn on Saturday after arriving match fit having appeared 21 times for Reims this season.
Wolves chairman Jeff Shi says this is a landmark acquisition for the club.
“Our staff travelled to France to ensure this deal was done on deadline day,” Shi told Wolves’ official website.
“It was important for the club, and we’re pleased to bring an experienced player into the group at an important time of the season.”
Wolves supporters aren’t huge admirers of Shi but the club’s efforts to land Munetsi will be greatly appreciated and quite frankly, a breath of fresh air considering past windows.
“We’re excited to have Marshall on board, and I hope he can help us achieve our aims,” Shi continued.
“He’ll have the full support of all of us at Compton Park and I hope he will have a long and successful time as part of the Wolves family.”
But, what do the Wolves fans think about their new signing?
The BBC asked them for their views and this is what some of them said:
Kieran: Got the defender and midfielder Vitor Pereira wanted. Hopefully these two can help keep us up.
Giorgio: Munetsi has been a first XI constant presence in this Reims season. And one of the most important players too. A transfer window with three additions is more than enough to get different weekly options. Now it is up to them to fight until the end of May. Happy.
Roger: Many eggs in one basket! Ait Nouri, Agbadou, Munetsi and Djiga could all be unavailable for fixtures from 20 December 2025 to 20 January 2026 while on duty for the Africa Cup of Nations.
John: Munetsi is a strange signing and surely just for injury cover? Tommy Doyle must be frustrated to see another midfielder come in. However, Djiga looks good and will strengthen the defence. What is Pereira’s best three now? Toti and Doherty to step down?
Milford: Great to see Marshall join the Premier League. A well-rounded midfielder who can defend, transition play and also provide goals in some cases. For both club and country, he has got opportunity to wear the armband this season, which demonstrates his leadership. With Nakamba now in the lower leagues and Chirewa away on loan at Huddersfield, Munetsi’s move will explode lots of excitement in Zimbabwe where already the Premier League is much celebrated. Hopefully he will bring in something different and help Wolves to stay in the top flight. Oooh my − can’t wait to have Marshall in my fantasy team for one of the gameweeks.
