"Wolves  is a great team with lots of talented players, I give glory to God and kudos to my team mates, ever since I joined the group they have made me feel at home am so happy because that has really helped me a lot.


"So we have mingled and jeeled pretty well and am really anticipating a good season because Wolves would be a team to beat this season with the quality of players we have now," the sharp striker exclusively told BFCNews.
