The £10million signing from AZ Alkmaar came straight in for his debut in the final pre-season match of the summer against Celta Vigo at the weekend.

He is expected to start at left-wing-back as Wolves kick-off their campaign against Manchester City on Saturday and the Norwegian was full of praise for how the head coach has shown faith in him.

"Very good, from day one," Wolfe said when asked about his experience working with Pereira.

"I feel like he trusts me and he helps me with everything, the small details.

"It's a bit of a new role for me since I've been playing in a back four and now I'm going in a back five and I think it's going to suit me incredibly well.

"He's helping me with all these small details offensively and defensively and everything and also as a human being he's been top."

Wolfe is currently battling with Hugo Bueno for a starting berth, although they Spaniard could move before the window closes.

Despite that, he welcomes the competition for places among the squad.

He said: "Of course I think every player inside the dressing room wants to say that (it's my position).

"It's very good for me to have healthy competition. It helps us both on the training pitch to try to be good for every single detail, every single exercise in the training.

"So it's only good and of course when you are in the Premier League there's going to be two good players in every position."

Wolfe already knew Jorgen Strand Larsen from the Norway national team, but the 23-year-old has quickly adapted to life at Wolves due to his ability to speak several languages.

He added: "It's been amazing. The players have been so welcoming, everyone is so nice and the people that work inside the club also help me with everything outside of the pitch.

"The staff has also been incredibly nice to me and of course there's also many people in the dressing room that speak Spanish and I lived in Spain myself when I was younger, so I feel like it's been quite easy to get in the group and to talk with everyone.

"If you count Dutch, then I have four (languages).

"For sure it helps and makes it so that I can speak to everyone and that's what we want."
