Marshall Munetsi has been at Wolves for a couple of months now − but one player caught his eye instantly at Molineux.
The Zimbabwe international has made a decent start to life at the club after his £16 million move from Reims, and has gained the trust of manager Vitor Pereira.
He has scored one goal in Wolves colours so far. He should have far more to his name, having got into fantastic positions time and time again.
Hopefully they will soon come more regularly, but for now Marshall Munetsi cannot play in his usual number eight position, with two top players starring in Wolves’ engine room.
They are Andre and Joao Gomes − and the latter instantly caught Munetsi’s eye when he arrived at the club.
Munetsi spoke about Gomes after Tuesday night’s huge 1-0 win over West Ham United at Molineux.
Gomes signed a new contract with Wolves, which was something that rather came out of the blue. Wolves fans were left elated by news of Gomes’ new contract − and Munetsi is certainly happy about that too.
Last week, Munetsi hailed Gomes, stating that everyone at the club ‘loves’ him.
And after Tuesday night’s game, he said:
“I think he’s a special talent. The first time I got here, I knew already that this is a guy that would play at the highest level of football, even for the Brazil national team, even for us he’s very important.
“You see how he shows his passion on the pitch, so I think it’s very important the club acknowledged his work. We are happy to have him here.” − molineux.news
