The Ivory Coast international completed his £16.6million move from French side Reims on Thursday and was instantly thrown into the starting XI as Wolves beat Bristol City in the FA Cup.

The centre-back is delighted to have made his debut in English football and is now looking towards his 'dream' Premier League debut at Newcastle on Wednesday night.

"When I was in the Ivory Coast I knew the Premier League and saw players like Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Yaya Toure," Agbadou said.

"It's a dream and I'm proud of myself to be here.

"I spoke to a lot of players from my national team, Willy Boly and Simon Adingra, I spoke to them before I came.

"I knew the Premier League before I came.

"Today, I lived (English football) for the first time, it's good.

"It is a dream, when you play football you want to play in the Premier League, because there are a lot of good players.

"The dream is coming true and I need to enjoy it.

"I enjoyed it, with a win, which is more important.
