WOLVES MAKE SIGNING
Kenny Jackett completed signing his 3rd player of this transfer window by acquiring the services of the 21 years old attacking midfielder from Chelsea, George Saville. Jackett had nothing but praise concerning his latest player which arrived to the Championship club for a fee of €1 million.
Jackett said: "It’s a permanent deal on a three year contract plus a year’s option. He’s a really good young player. He’s just turned 21 and has been brought through at Chelsea with a very good pedigree’’
“He hasn’t made many Championship appearances but he did very well for Brentford last season and I think he’s a terrific addition for us. He’s an attacking midfield player and has a very good left foot and an ability to create. I think Saville can do a bit of everything, but generally he likes to attack,” said head coach Jackett.
“He’s a very good all-round midfielder that we’ve done well to get. He’s one of those players we could have waited a year or two and he’ll be worth a lot more and sometimes those players become very difficult to buy’’
Saville never managed to make a first team appearance for Chelsea as he instead was offloaded to Millwall and Brentford on loan deals but this time around the English midfielder penned a 3 years long permanent deal with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
During Saville’s loan time performing for Millwall, he could never really stand out but 1 year later when he joined Brentford on his 2nd loan deal it was a breakthrough season for the young midfielder as he played a huge role in Brentford’s season when they managed to earn a promotion spot to the Championship League as well as earning a man of the match performance along the way.
It was such a successful time for Saville that Brentford extended his loan deal for a significantly period longer. Even at his young age, Saville has already lifted titles as he was part of the squad which won the FA Youth Cup in 2009-10 for Chelsea.
