Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann has given his backing to new signing Steven Fletcher who has moved from Burnley for a club record equalling fee.

The United States international believes Fletcher can help Wolves to build on their first season back in the Barclays Premier League.

But the 37-year-old is unsure whether Fletcher’s arrival will herald another change in tactics by Wolves boss Mick McCarthy.

He switched from a 4-4-2 to a 4-5-1 formation midway through the campaign and it paid dividends with Kevin Doyle operating as the lone striker.

Hahnemann, preparing for USA’s World Cup clash with England on Saturday, said: “I have seen Steven a few times and there is no doubt that he is a good player. He is a dangerous player and I think he will be good for us.

“Our main goal last season was to stay in the Premier League and we achieved that, which was great. I think Steven will be good in helping us to build on that.”
