He has some experience of senior football with Angers in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/category\/ligue-1\/\" target=\"_self\">Ligue 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/rayan-ait-nouri\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/578391\/plus\/0?saison=2019\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">17 appearances<\/a> in the league last season, before missing over a month with a fractured jaw.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00eft-Nouri delivered three assists in the last campaign and has shown significant potential.<\/p>\n<p>The left-back has already contributed for Angers in his three appearances so far this season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/rayan-ait-nouri\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/578391\/plus\/0?saison=2020\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">making an assist<\/a> in the 3-2 win over Stade Brest. In signing him on loan, Wolves are in an ideal position to assess his ability in the Premier League and decide if they want to pay for his services.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00eft-Nouri is represented by well-known football agent Jorge Mendes, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2017\/jun\/19\/jorge-mendes-wolves-influence-chinese-owners-signings\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strong links<\/a> to Wolves and would no doubt have played a major part in this transfer.<\/p>\n<h3>A\u00eft-Nouri Proud to Join Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d just like to say how immensely proud and happy I am right now, and I&#8217;m thrilled to be joining this club,&#8221; A\u00eft-Nouri <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolves.co.uk\/news\/first-team\/20201004-ait-nouri-thrilled-by-wolves-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Wolves&#8217; official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here to try and show everyone here exactly what I&#8217;m capable of, the manager, my teammates and the supporters. I hope I can have a great season here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a massive club, a big club and I always had it very clear in my mind that I wanted to come to Wolves and so I&#8217;m very happy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be hoping to settle into the club as quickly as I can, and with the help of my teammates, get in the best shape I can, and to try and play as many games as I can in the Premier League because it&#8217;s a league you dream about playing in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to get started working and training with my new coach,&#8221; A\u00eft-Nouri added. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to have a chat with him a bit. He&#8217;s shown he has confidence in me, and he is a very endearing character.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Series of Positive Events<\/h3>\n<p>The announcement comes after Wolves&#8217; 1-0 win over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/?s=Fulham\" target=\"_self\">Fulham<\/a> on Sunday afternoon.
