Wolverhampton Wanderers brought another exciting youngster to the Premier League in January, snapping up Den Bosch defender Justin Hubner.
Highly-rated Dutchman Justin Hubner has been officially unveiled as a Wolverhampton Wanderers player with the new signing donning Old Gold for the first time on his official Instagram page.
It’s a good look, right Wolves fans?
With Daniel Podence the only new face added to Nuno Espirito Santo’s first team squad last month, it is tempting to write off the January transfer window as a bit of a non-event at Molineux. But, behind the scenes, one of Europe’s most ambitious clubs were working tirelessly to ensure it’s not just the present that is tinged with gold.
Before the transfer deadline three weeks ago, Wolves managed to tie up deals for a PSV starlet, a midfielder with over 20 Ligue 1 games under his belt, an established Football League starlet who netted a wondergoal at Old Trafford, and not to mention a four-time Ecuador international.
Hubner, however, could be the best of the lot.
The classy centre-half was tipped for big things at Den Bosch and the Eerste Divisie outfit were dismayed to lose their superstar-in-waiting in the winter.
“We cannot compete with clubs such as Wolverhampton,” the second-tier club’s technical director Bert Ruijsch lamented, speaking to Voetbal International. “It is a shame to see such a talent leave, but on the other hand it is also a compliment for FC Den Bosch’s youth academy.”
Now, just a day before Wolves take on Espanyol in the Europa League knockout rounds, Hubner is showing off his new colours at last.
