Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, the latest Wolves acquisition, has been mentioned by Max Kilman, who acknowledged that he has looked excellent in training.
The Frenchman was Wolves’ last acquisition in the summer transfer period.
For a little under £13 million, he was brought in from Strasbourg. On deadline day, Wolves officials had to take a flight to France to finish the transaction.
After the agreement was reached, Bellegarde made his club debut on Saturday against Liverpool.
The 25-year-old also performed admirably at Molineux.
And the performance perhaps didn’t come as a surprise to Kilman, who’s been training with him for the past two weeks…
Wolves had a number of players away on international duty.
But Kilman was one of a handful of players to stay behind. As was Bellegarde, who is as yet uncapped for France.
The Molineux captain has therefore been able to get a good look at his new teammate. And he’s liked what he has seen.
He said (Express & Star): “We’ve been watching him train the last couple of weeks and he’s been brilliant. That was expected from him (against Liverpool). We knew what a player we had and he’s going to help us a lot this season.
“He’s very quiet, a very nice guy, like a number of players we have in this squad. We just need to keep working together as a squad and the results and performances will come.”
Bellegarde looks great after only a few weeks at the club
All the noise about Bellegarde so far has been very encouraging.
Gary O’Neil has also praised the midfielder a couple of times already. And it’s clear that he has made a good early impression.
And you would imagine he is only going to get better the more he gets to know his new teammates and the manager’s tactics.
Hopefully Bellegarde, who Wolves actually tried to sign in January, will soon become a key man in midfield and perhaps chip in with a few goals and assists
