Super Eagles goalkeeper Carl Ikeme
has signed a new contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers which will last until
2019. The Nigerian international has been
a professional at Molineux since 2003 and he has gone to make 192 appearances
in all competitions during that time.
After being regarded as the club's
number-one stopper under both previous boss Walter Zenga and current manager
Paul Lambert, Ikeme extended his long-term association with the Championship
club.
Lambert told the club's official
website: "I think it is important to get players like Carl Ikeme signed up
to a new deal. As it was with Dave Edwards, he is an experienced member of the
team. He knows exactly what the club is about and if you get a core of lads
like that then they can look after the dressing room as well. Carl has been
terrific since I arrived and I think this is a big signing for the club.
"I remember coming here with
Blackburn last season and he made some incredible saves. He is a big presence,
a great lad and a top goalkeeper."
Ikeme is likely to be in the
starting lineup when Wolves host Queens Park Rangers on New Year's Eve.
