Rafiki Said
Winger Rafiki Said become the first Wolves signing of the Cesar Peixoto era in July 2026.
The 26-year-old, who signed a three-year contract with the option of a further 12 months, joined from Standard Liege in the Belgian top division, having scored eight times last term, and 36 over his previous four campaigns.
Said, a creative left winger who enjoys taking on defenders and is comfortable going either way, impressed during his one season in Belgium, having moved from Troyes last summer.
The Comoros international began his career with French side Brest, making his professional debut in Ligue 1 back in September 2021, and then moved to Nimes where he hit double figures in his one season and played alongside Old Gold defender Nasser Djiga.
Following a transfer to Troyes, Said made his senior Comoros debut, and he’s now scored eight goals in 21 international appearances, the most recent of which saw him don the captain’s armband against Equatorial Guinea.
Last December he played every minute of Comoros’ Africa Cup of Nations campaign, amidst a season where he impressed for Standard Liege, scoring eight and assisting five in 38 appearances during his solitary Belgian season.
