Marshall Munetsi has completed a deadline day move to Wolverhampton Wanderers from French side Reims, expressing his excitement at the opportunity to play in the English Premier League.
The Zimbabwean midfielder, who had been with Reims since 2019, developed into a key figure at the club and captained the team in his final game before making the switch. Having consulted former teammate Emmanuel Agbadou and fellow Zimbabwe international Tawanda Chirewa, Munetsi was convinced the move was the right step for his career.
Speaking about the transfer, Munetsi described joining Wolves as a dream come true, emphasizing how much the Premier League has always appealed to him. He believes playing in England will be a significant step forward, not just for himself but for his family as well. He also noted that the presence of a large Zimbabwean community in England will help him settle in more comfortably than he did in France. Reflecting on his time in Ligue 1, Munetsi admitted he had not expected to stay at Reims for as long as he did but appreciated the experience he gained. He acknowledged the competitiveness of the French league while recognizing that the Premier League presents a greater challenge.
Munetsi revealed that Chirewa was excited about his arrival at Wolves and that Agbadou, whom he had previously welcomed to Reims, is now ready to return the favor. He praised Agbadou’s impact at Wolves and expressed eagerness to reunite with him. Looking ahead, Munetsi hopes to bring his leadership qualities to Wolves, drawing from his experiences at Reims. He emphasized that being a leader requires continuous learning, setting an example both on and off the pitch, and supporting teammates.
Confident in his abilities, he believes the qualities he demonstrated in France will help him make a strong impact in the Premier League.
