Aliadiere up for challenge

Jeremie Aliadiere has revealed that he joined Wolves to play regular football.

Jeremie Aliadiere has revealed that he joined Wolves in order to secure regular first-team football.

The 22-year-old Frenchman has had loan spells at Celtic and West Ham already this season, after failing to break into the first team at Arsenal.

He switched to Wolves on transfer deadline day, and will stay at Molineux until the end of the season to try and help Glenn Hoddle's side return to The Premiership.

The striker explained that he had no other option but to move on, but insisted that he was looking forward to the challenge of Championship football.

"My transfer was settled at the last minute, because I knew I could not stay at West Ham any more. I realised that I would not play again this season if I stayed there," he declared.

"I talked to Arsene Wenger and he persuaded me to go out on loan somewhere else.

"The worst that can happen is that I go back to Arsenal at the end of the season. If things go smoothly then I will have had six months of regular football.

"It is a nice challenge to help a club get back into The Premiership. I just hope that the league is not too physical, because I don't really like that style."
