'Big family' - Cesar Peixoto on Wolves' latest signing

Cesar Peixoto believes the signing of Rafiki Said will help Wolves ‘build a big family’ capable of promotion. The winger became Wolves’ third signing of the summer with a £7.7million switch from Belgian side Standard Liege, as he signed a three-year deal with the option of a further year. Said is the first signing since Peixoto was announced as Rob Edwards’ successor and the head coach believes the forward will be a strong addition. “I’m happy because he’s a good player and he can help us to improve the team,” Peixoto said. “He’s a player with important characteristics for us – we have Mane and Rodrigo, but we have to find solutions, to challenge each other, to improve the team. “He’s a fast player and one versus one running is a very important characteristic for us, but the most important thing for me is the team, and he’s one player more to help us build a big family and team to fight to put Wolves again in the Premier League. “He wanted to come as soon as possible. He’s a very humble player, very hardworking, and with a hunger to be a success at Wolves, to be a success in football. He has the mentality I want in the team, and it’s important that he came to us. “In terms of physicality, he’s a strong guy, he’s quick and athletic. He has the capacity, the quality and mentality to adapt and help the team to improve, to win games and do things in the right way.” The attacker has signed in time to fly with the squad to Portugal for their pre-season training camp and Peixoto is pleased to have it done in time so the player has time to adapt. He added: “It was important. The sooner the players come, the better. “It’s more time we have to work with them and put our idea of the game, to know the team, to know the environment around the club. It’s very important for us, not only Rafiki, but all the players coming as soon as possible is important.”
