Wolves defender Berra confident Jonsson Premier League class

Wolves defender Christophe Berra is delighted ex-Hearts teammate Eggert Jonsson has joined him at Molineux.

Berra played beside the Iceland ace at Hearts and reckons he has what it takes to face some of the best players in the world.

Berra told the Scottish Sun: "Eggert will be an excellent signing. At 23 he's a good age and he's a player who can develop here at Wolves.

"Everyone knows he has a great attitude and he has always been a very fit boy, so the potential is definitely there. It's a good deal for us. Eggert's contract was up at the end of the season and there were a few other clubs looking at him.

"But we got in there first and I'm looking forward to working with him again.

"Eggert was a quiet boy when I first got to know him, but he had become a regular at Hearts by the time I moved to Wolves. He has the right attitude to handle a move like this.

"He's played 16 games for Iceland and it doesn't matter which country you play for, international football is still a huge thing to handle.

"Eggert will only have learned from that and that will help him adjust down here as well."
