Rob Edwards’ recent comments regarding Ladislav Krejci may suggest he is considering the Wolves player for the club captaincy. This would be dependent on Wolves managing to keep Krejci at Molineux this summer.
Krejci’s Impact at Wolves
Ladislav Krejci has been one of Wolves’ best signings. The Czech defender has been a regular in the team’s defence. Krejci has also demonstrated his versatility by playing in midfield on occasion.
Wolves intend to purchase Krejci permanently this summer. However, there are no guarantees he will stay at the club. It remains to be seen if other clubs will view him as a transfer opportunity.
Edwards’ Praises Krejci’s Leadership Qualities
Edwards spoke to the media before Wolves’ match against West Ham United. He sang the praises of Krejci. Edwards was asked if Krejci could be a captain, and responded positively.
Edwards said that Krejci is “someone who’s going in that right direction” and is “a really good professional.”. He added: “There’s no doubt about it – he’s a vocal player.”. Edwards noted Krejci “makes demands of his teammates, whether that’s in training or out on the pitch, there’s leadership qualities there.”
Edwards appears to value what Krejci brings to the team. His comments suggest Krejci could be in contention to become Wolves’ next captain.
The Current Wolves Captaincy Situation
Toti Gomes is currently the club captain at Wolves. However, some fans have questioned whether he is the right choice for the role. Gomes hasn’t featured regularly this season.
Ideally, a club captain should be on the pitch consistently. Krejci possesses the qualities needed to wear the armband from next season. Krejci recently became the captain for Czechia, further highlighting his leadership abilities.
Wolves face a battle to retain Krejci’s services after they sign him permanently.
Wolves need to win their game against West Ham United to improve their chances of staying safe.
