Wolves defender Ki-Jana Hoever joins Stoke on loan | OneFootball

Ki-Jana Hoever has followed Matija Sarkic in swapped Wolves for Stoke City in a loan move for the rest of the season.

Hoever returned from a loan spell at PSV earlier this week, for whom he made 10 appearances this season but was unable to hold down a regular starting spot.

The 21-year-old right-back will now head to the Bet365 Stadium and try to help the Potters in their battle against relegation from the Championship.

Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “This has come about quickly, after excellent work from Matt Jackson, orchestrating the deal with PSV which meant we could pick the right football option for Ki, so credit to Matt for creating this opportunity.

“It’s closer to home and it’s the Championship, which is one of, if not the best development league for the Premier League. The fact he’s 45 minutes up the road, plus in the Championship at a big club like Stoke, it’s great for him and us.

“He’s really excited. He was very proactive in the move and it’s something he wanted. He wants games for a team looking to get into the play-off mix and it’s a great opportunity, in a great league, at a great club. Matija is there so he has that familiarisation too, so this move ticks every box.”

Hoever has so far played 25 times for Wolves since moving to Molineux from Liverpool in 2020.
