Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of Ghislain Konan, a 30-year-old left-back from Ivory Coast, in a move announced just hours after the summer transfer window officially closed. The defender has joined the club on a one-year contract and brings significant international experience with 57 caps for his country.
Konan reunites with Wolves head coach Cesar Peixoto, under whom he played at Portuguese club Gil Vicente during the previous season. The signing addresses the defensive void created by the recent departure of David Moller Wolfe to SV Hamburg, ensuring the squad maintains adequate cover at left-back heading into the new campaign.
The Ivorian defender boasts an extensive career across multiple European leagues. He began his professional journey with ASEC Mimosas before establishing himself in Portugal with Vitoria Guimaraes. Subsequent moves took him to France’s Stade de Reims, where he spent five years, followed by spells in the Saudi Pro League with both Al-Nassr and Al-Fayha, a brief appearance in Spain’s second division with Burgos, and his most recent stint in Portugal.
