Wolves Complete Signing of Rafiki Said

The 26-year-old winger arrives to add pace and attacking width as Cesar Peixoto reshapes the squad for a promotion push.

Overview

  • The club announced the deal on July 11, with Said signing a three-year contract and an option for a fourth year.
  • Reports place the base fee at about €9 million with a reported €1 million add-on payable if Wolves win promotion and the transfer remains subject to routine visa and international clearance.
  • Said is a 26-year-old Comoros international who scored eight goals for Standard Liège in 2025–26 after moving there from Troyes.
  • Wolves plan to integrate Said immediately by taking him to the pre-season training camp in Portugal so he can settle into Cesar Peixoto’s system and work with teammates.
  • The signing is Wolves’ third of the summer after Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez and reflects a clear recruitment focus on adding wide pace and attacking depth as the club rebuilds following relegation.
