British local newspaper Express & Star reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Wolves has signed Nasser Ziga (22), a Burkina Faso national team centerback who played for Tsurvena Zvezda (Serbia), for a transfer fee of £10 million and has agreed to sign a contract by 2030.
"We are delighted to have Nasser," Wolves Chairman Jeff Cy said on the BBC. This recruitment is a big investment for the club. Nasser is a player with great potential. I want to see him grow under the guidance of the coaching staff", he admitted to the transfer. General manager Matt Hobbs also said, `Central defense is an area we wanted to strengthen through the transfer market this winter. "I saw Nasser as a player who can strengthen his squad in the short term and in the long term," he said. "The back three have been consistently maintained since Vitor joined, but Nasser is a fast and aggressive type of defender."
Nasser, who made his debut with FC Basel (Switzerland) in 2021, moved to Tsurvena for a transfer fee of 3 million euros in the 2023-2024 season after being loaned to France's second division in the 2022-2023 season. After joining Tsurvena, he played as the main defender for two consecutive seasons and showed good performance.
Wolverhampton is 17th with 19 points, with only five wins (4 draws and 15 losses) in 24 games. It is only two points behind Leicester City (17 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone. He seems to be seeking a rebound through defensive reinforcement.
