Steve Bruce backs Yannick Sagbo to shine at Wolverhampton Wanderers

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has told Wolverhampton Wanderers that they have got "a really good player" on their hands in Yannick Sagbo.

Having not used the striker in the Premier League this season, Bruce allowed Sagbo to join Wolves on a loan deal until January yesterday afternoon.

Despite the fact that he is currently deemed surplus to requirements at the KC Stadium, Bruce has backed the 26-year-old to shine in the Championship.

"He's a very good player and I'm sure he will do very well for Wolves. He is big strong and powerful and he can move. He is quick and he is a good footballer technically too. You have got yourselves a really good player and footballer," he told the Express & Star.

Sagbo scored four goals during his 35 appearances in all competitions last season.
