Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of Comoros winger Saïd on a three‑year deal, adding pace and flair to their forward line ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.

Who is Saïd and where does he come from?

Saïd, 22, broke onto the scene with FC Sainte‑Marie in the Comoros Premier League before moving to French side Stade Bastia in 2024. He logged 28 appearances and scored five goals in Ligue 2 last season, earning a call‑up for the Comoros national team in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

How did the transfer unfold?

The Wolves’ scouting network identified Saïd during a friendly against Bastia in March 2026. After a week‑long medical, the club announced on 5 July 2026 that he had agreed to a three‑year contract, with an undisclosed fee reported to be around £3 million. The deal includes a performance‑related add‑on that could push the total to £4 million.

Why does Saïd matter for Wolves?

Manager Julen Lama has been reshaping the squad to play a high‑pressing, wide‑forward style. Saïd’s ability to cut inside from the left and deliver accurate crosses fits that blueprint. His speed, recorded at 34 km/h in a recent sprint test, gives the team a new outlet against defensively solid Premier League sides.

What are the next steps?

Saïd will join pre‑season training in late July, with his first competitive appearance expected in the opening league fixture on 12 August 2026 against Manchester United. Fans will see him wearing the number 19 shirt, a nod to former Wolves legend Steve Bull.

How does this affect the squad’s depth?

The signing provides cover for injured winger Jacob Braun and offers competition for Leon Bennett, who has struggled for consistency. With the transfer window closing on 31 August, Wolves may still look to add a defensive midfielder to balance the attacking boost Saïd brings.
