Wolves sign Noha Lemina, brother of Mario, on loan

Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced the loan signing of Noha Lemina from Paris Saint-Germain.

Noha joins brother Mario at Molineux on a deal until the end of the season, when Wolves have the option to sign him permanently. 

The 18-year-old is a winger who can play on both sides of attack. He is a France Under-17 international but is eligible to represent Gabon, like his brother.

He has been at PSG for 10 years but also spent time on loan in Italy with Sampdoria following a breakthrough campaign with PSG’s Under-19s, scoring 15 times in 28 appearances.

He is Wolves' first senior signing of the January transfer window.

“Noha’s an exciting, quick and direct winger," Sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club's official website.

"It’s an opportunity for him to get a feel for us and we can assess him. He’ll improve under Gary [O'Neil] like all our players do, and Gary and his staff will get a real opportunity to develop him, which will give us an idea on what we do going forward.

“When Mario first joined, his brother had been flagged up by our scouting team. Mario’s a driven individual, so doesn’t want any favours, but he has real belief in him and thinks he’s a Premier League player in the making, and Noha will back himself."

Wolves are next in action on Thursday when they host Manchester United at 20:15 GMT.
