David Moller Wolfe believes he was always destined to sign for Wolves after the Norwegian defender put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Molineux.
As well as having a surname which matches that of his new club, the latest addition to Vitor Pereira’s squad also has a large tattoo depicting a wolf on his left arm, and while playing in the Premier League has always been a dream of the wing-back, Wolfe feels the Old Gold will be the perfect fit for him to test himself in England.
On signing for the Old Gold
“It feels amazing. I’m so, so happy and so proud to be a part of Wolves, so I’m over the moon right now.
“I felt incredibly wanted from the second I talked to Domenico and the second I talked to the coach. Obviously, the Premier League is a big, big league, especially also in Norway. It’s the biggest league that people watch, so when a Premier League club came in, and Wolverhampton came in for me, I was extremely keen on joining.
“I’m really looking forwards to playing for Wolverhampton in front of the fans and I can’t wait to see them.”
On a Wolfe playing for Wolves
“Personally, I think it’s pretty cool to have that surname and then to play for Wolverhampton.
“Me and my brothers have actually joked a little bit about it a couple of years ago, and now it is turning into a reality. I think it was meant to be.”
On what the fans can expect from him
“I’m an extremely hard-working player that can run up and down the left side for 90 minutes straight. I give a lot of energy to the team, and I always do my best to help the team.
“I’m very confident. I think I have the qualities to play in the Premier League and to deliver and to perform. Also here, I will play as a wing-back, so that means I can have even more freedom to go on offensive runs, so I can’t wait.”
On replicating his Eredivisie form at Molineux
“Two years ago, me and my family, we made a decision to go to AZ Alkmaar and to have that sort of middle step before the next big step.
“I feel very ready for that now, ready to play in the Premier League and to play and perform for Wolverhampton. I’m also very grateful for AZ for helping me a lot to make this step.”
On reuniting with Jorgen Strand Larsen
“I have spoken to Jorgen [about the move]. We spoke for the first time about it a couple of weeks ago and then a couple of days ago again. He only has positive things to say about the club, about the people in the club, about the fans and about the city. So I can’t wait to see his face and train with him again.
“I’m very excited because me and Jorgen have a very good link outside of the pitch, so let’s hope to build on that together also on the pitch.”
On meeting his new teammates next week
“I can’t wait to just train with the guys. I think I can train from Tuesday, I hope, and then we’ve obviously got the game on Saturday, and then the Premier League starts, so I’m ready.
“These are the games I’ve always dreamt of playing in. The fact that we can get Man City in the first game is possibly the best thing that could have happened.”
