Wolves sign David Moller Wolfe from AZ Alkmaar on 5-year deal

Wolves secure Norwegian defender David Moller Wolfe on a 5-year deal, reuniting him with teammate Jorgen Strand Larsen in the Premier League.

"I’m so happy and proud to be a part of Wolves. The Premier League is a big, big league. – David Moller Wolfe"

London, August 2

Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday announced that they have roped in Norwegian defender David Moller Wolfe from AZ Alkmaar on a five-year deal.

The Premier League outfit released a statement to announce the arrival of Wolfe from the Eredivisie side, making him their third acquisition in the ongoing summer transfer window. The lanky 6ft 1in left-wing-back reunited with his international teammate Jorgen Strand Larsen.

At the age of 23, Wolfe boasts 190 senior appearances and remarkably hit double figures for goal involvements last season. He began his journey as a teenager with Bergen Nord in 2017, but his career started gaining momentum with SK Brann in 2019.

After lifting his first title with Brann, Wolfe moved to AZ Alkmaar, getting his first taste of European football. He replaced Milos Kerkez as the Dutch side's regular left-back. Wolfe made 45 appearances, featuring in every Eredivisie and Europa Conference League fixture.

He earned a reputation as an attacking left-back with his tenacious passes across all competitions. He registered eight assists, including against Roma in the Europa League. He also flaunted his prolific goal-scoring form and netted three goals against Galatasaray, PEC Zwolle and Almere City.

"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 in Norway," Wolfe said while speaking to the club.

"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 forward to playing for Wolverhampton in front of the fans and I can't wait to see them," he added.

In the international circuit, he started all four games for Norway and was a vital cog in his nation's flawless start to World Cup qualification.

Exciting times for Wolves fans! But I wonder why Indian clubs aren't scouting talents like this from smaller European leagues. We keep spending crores on washed-up stars when young players like Wolfe could be available at reasonable prices.

As someone who stayed up late to watch Eredivisie matches, I can confirm Wolfe is a gem 💎 His defensive work needs improvement but going forward he's brilliant. Perfect for Wolves' system. Hope he gets proper time to settle in England.

Interesting move! But I'm concerned about Wolves' strategy - they're signing too many attack-minded defenders. Their defense was shaky last season. Shouldn't they focus more on solid center-backs first? Still, wish Wolfe all the best!

Bhai, 23 years and 190 senior appearances? That's insane dedication! Indian players should take note - this is what professional commitment looks like. Our ISL players complain about too many matches after just 30 games in a season 😅

Good signing but Wolves need to be careful - Norwegian players sometimes struggle in Premier League (remember Joshua King?). Hope Wolfe breaks that trend. His Europa League performances were impressive though!
