Wolves Sign Rafiki Said to Boost Wide Attack

The 26-year-old winger joins to add pace on the flanks to support Wolves’ bid to return to the Premier League.

Overview

  • Wolves confirmed on Saturday that 26-year-old Rafiki Said has signed from Standard Liège on a three-year contract with an optional fourth year.
  • Reports put the base fee at about £7.7 million (roughly €9 million) and say conditional add-ons could push the total toward €10 million, including a €1 million payment tied to promotion.
  • Head coach Cesar Peixoto and club officials described Said as a quick, athletic left winger who offers one‑versus‑one attacking threat and asked that he join the squad immediately for the Portugal training camp.
  • At least one outlet noted the deal remains subject to routine visa and international clearance before final registration is completed.
  • Said is Wolves’ third summer arrival after Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez and his early integration could sharpen competition for wide roles as the club rebuilds for a promotion push.
