‘It was a dream’: Popular £16m player Emmanuel Agbadou admits he genuinely loves playing for Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters have been left stunned — and touched — after £16m-rated defender Emmanuel Agbadou made an emotional statement about his time at Molineux, describing it as a “dream come true.”
The Ivorian centre-back, who has impressed fans and pundits alike with his athleticism and commanding presence, opened up during a recent interview about his love for the club and how deeply he’s connected with life at Wolves.
> “It was a dream,” Agbadou said. “Playing in the Premier League was always something I worked for, but being here at Wolves has been special. I genuinely love this club — the fans, the staff, the energy. It’s a real family.”
Since making the move to Wolves in a deal reportedly worth around £16 million, Agbadou has quickly become a fan favourite. His no-nonsense defensive style, physical dominance, and growing leadership at the back have made him one of the most exciting new additions in recent seasons.
Signed as part of a defensive revamp, Agbadou’s performances have drawn praise from across the league — but it’s his heartfelt words that have struck a chord with fans.
> “I’ve played in other countries, but here it feels different,” he continued. “The people care. You feel it every match, every training session. I just want to give everything back to the club.”
Social media quickly lit up following the interview, with Wolves fans flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter) with messages of support, appreciation, and even calls for him to be named future captain.
> “Agbadou gets it. We don’t just want good players — we want players who love the badge. He’s one of us,” one fan wrote.
At just 26, Agbadou’s best years are still ahead of him, and his commitment to the cause could make him a cornerstone of the club’s future under their evolving defensive structure.
With Wolves aiming to climb higher in the Premier League table next season, having players like Emmanuel Agbadou — not just talented, but emotionally invested — could make all the difference.
For now, one thing is clear: Emmanuel Agbadou isn’t just playing for Wolves — he’s living his dream with them.
