Russell Martin believes that new signing Hannes Wolf will bring “assists, goals and a real threat” to Swansea after watching the player bed in with his new team mates in training over the last 48 hours.
Wolf is expected to be part of the matchday squad for this afternoon’s visit of Preston North End to the Swansea.com stadium and, based on the assessment of the manager, we can expect him to play some part in the game even if he doesn’t make the starting line up.
Wolf made a dash across Europe to complete his loan move on Thursday and become the third new addition to the squad in this window as he followed Andy Fisher and Cyrus Christie into SA1.
The signing was met with much excitement amongst the fanbase and that was certainly echoed by the manager when speaking with the official website on Friday.
“Hannes can play in numerous positions in attack. He is a fantastic athlete,” said Martin.
“Out of possession he’s incredible in terms of what he does for the team. He is selfless.
“I spoke to a few people about his character, and everything that came back was really top.
“If anything you have to rein him in at times with how hard he wants to work and how serious he is about his profession.
“I think he’ll bring assists, goals and a real threat. He can play anywhere for us and have an impact.”
