Wolverhampton Wanderers are poised to welcome 23-year-old Norwegian international David Møller Wolfe as their new first-choice left back, with a formal agreement struck with AZ Alkmaar and a medical scheduled within the next 24 hours with the West Midlands club, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Wolves Agree Deal With AZ Alkmaar And Beat Lille To Secure David Møller Wolfe

Wolfe Set To Replace Rayan Aït-Nouri

Wolfe’s arrival is expected to fill the void in the Wolves’ back line left by the departure of Aït-Nouri, who sealed a high-profile move to Manchester City. With over 60 appearances in the Eredivisie and 12 senior caps for Norway, Wolfe brings pace, stamina, and a physical presence, standing at 6ft 1.

The young defender has quickly earned a reputation for dynamic forward runs and solid defensive positioning, which aligns perfectly with Vítor Pereira’s system.

A Fourth Summer Signing For Wolves

Should his medical go through without any complications, Wolfe will be the fourth signing of the summer for the Wanderers, continuing the club’s focus on young talent. The move also adds to a growing Norwegian influence at the club, with striker Jørgen Strand Larsen penning a permanent deal as a key member of the squad. With Premier League preparations intensifying, Wolves will hope that Wolfe will be a long-term solution at left back. Birmingham World report that the “in demand” defender is valued at around £10 million.

The imminent arrival of Wolfe signals another step in Wolves’ summer rebuild under Pereira. With big shoes to fill after the departure of Aït-Nouri, he will need to adapt to English football quickly. His energy, defensive capabilities and forward runs could make him a key figure on the left flank for years to come as Wolves continue their pursuit of Premier League stability.
