Wolves have completed their third transfer of the close season with the signing of Hull City defender Steven Mouyokolo for and undisclosed fee. Hull City AFC Central had reported here yesterday that Wolves were close to securing Mouyokolo and Stephen Hunt's signatures in a double deal worth £6 million. However, with Wolves facing plenty of competiton from other clubs for Hunt they have moved quickly to secure the services of Mouyokolo for a rumoured fee of around £2.5 million. Mouyokolo has signed a 4 year deal at Molineux with the option of a 5th year. Mouyokolo spent one season at Hull and his impressive displays in the second half of the season attracted interest from many of the clubs in the lower half of the table. Hull City AFC Central would like to thank Steven Mouyokolo for his time at Hull and wish him all the best at his new club.
Mouyokolo had this to say about the move:
"I'm very excited and very happy," he said. "It was important for me to try and stay in the Premier League because I enjoyed last season, even though it was disappointing that Hull were relegated.
"I'm delighted to be staying in the league and even more so at a club with such history like Wolves.
"As soon as I knew they were interested it was always going to be a move which really appealed to me.
"I've heard a lot of good things about Mick McCarthy and have enjoyed talking to him - I'm looking forward to working with him and improving my game."
