Ghislain Konan

Wolves signed Ivory Coast international Ghislain Konan on a one-year deal in September 2026.

The left-back arrived following the departure of David Moller Wolfe on deadline day and was reunited with head coach Cesar Peixoto, who he played under at Gil Vicente last season.

The 30-year-old boasts experience of the top level in Portugal and France and arrived at Molineux having represented his nation at the World Cup last summer, playing three times as the Ivory Coast reached the knockout stages in North America.

As a youngster, Konan played 57 times for Vitoria in Portugal, where he broke into senior football, and was one game short of 100 appearances for Reims during his four years in Ligue 1.

Having experienced the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr and Al-Fayha, and following a brief spell in Spain with Burgos, Peixoto signed him at Gil Vicente, where he played 31 times and helped them to European qualification last season.

As an international, Konan won the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations – one of four major tournaments he has represented the Ivory Coast at, the most recent being the World Cup in North America.
