'Troublemaker' - New signing outlines his ambition for Wolves

The winger is eager to make a big impression at Molineux.

New boy Rafiki Said says he wants to be a “troublemaker” on the wing for Wolves.

The 26-year-old has sights set on becoming a fan favourite at Molineux after joining in a £7.7million move from Standard Liege earlier this month.

Said, the first signing for new head coach Cesar Peixoto, saw his first action for the club in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Estoril in Portugal.

And he told the official club website: “I'm very much an attacking player who fights hard for the shirt, gives my all on the pitch and always gives 100 per cent.

“I'm a dribbler, I'm someone who puts their heart and soul in, and that's why this club is right for me.

“I'm the type of player who puts smiles on the fans' faces because I'm always happy.

“I'm someone who likes to be a troublemaker when dribbling, in the box, scoring goals, making passes and celebrating. That's often why people like me.”

Said, who captains the Comoros national team, earned his move to Wolves after scoring eight goals in 38 appearances for Liege last season.

Prior to then his career had been spent in France with Brest, Nimes and Troyes.

He continued: “I'm very happy to have signed a contract with such a great club like Wolves.

“I'm really happy to be here. The facilities are incredible, there's plenty to get stuck into and I'm excited at the prospect of starting the season.

“I said yes straight away because it's a really great club and everyone in England knows it.

“When I found out they were interested in me, I was really pleased and I didn't hesitate to sign here.

“It's a great project, because the aim is to secure immediate promotion to the top division. A new coach, new staff, everything is new, so we're hoping to get down to work to quickly achieve our goals next year.

“I've got time to get to know my teammates and the staff more quickly, that's the advantage. The sooner we get to know each other, the better.

“I am very, very pleased to be here. I can't wait to be on the pitch, showing the fans what I can bring to the club as soon as possible.”
