### **The Verdict: Great signing**

The Wanderers man enjoyed a successful season in the Premier League last season, for which he averaged an impressive 7.03 match rating (via [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/wolverhampton/3)).

The 6 foot 4 centre-back could be a fantastic long-term addition to Antonio Conte’s squad, given his ability to learn quickly, and if Fabio Paratici did decide to act on his scouts’ reports, this could be a great signing for Tottenham.
