EXCLUSIVE: Hennessey’s fighting talk
WALES international Wayne Hennessey is ready to fight experienced Marcus Hahnemann for the goalkeeper’s jersey at newly promoted Wolves.
Hahnemann, 37, has been signed by manager Mick McCarthy to bring experience to a young team, meaning that Hennessey’s No1 status is under threat.
“I am open and I am honest. I just can’t wait for the season to come,” said the 22-year-old Hennessey.
“I want to play in the Premier League, it’s everybody’s dream. There had been talk that another goalkeeper might be coming in at Wolves.
“If I lost my place I’d be fed up, but you’ve got to take it.
“It will be up to the manager to make the decision on who plays. But I know that I want it.”
