Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have waxed lyrical about Jonny Otto following a post about the Spaniard by Tim Spiers.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Athletic reporter on the Old Gold, Spiers, shared a story of his in which he praised the full-back and likened him to the former Manchester United great Dennis Irwin (as per Tim Spiers).
Following the post, supporters began to follow the trend which the journalist had set and continued to heap praise on the 25-year-old.

I recall ‘vaguely’ (going back a bit), a similar report on Thommo where it was stated that you know youre foung a great job as a left-back is when fans forget about you & you still keep getting picked.

Is Jonny Otto the most underrated player in the Wolves squad?Yes, he's criminally underratedNo, there are others more so |
Over 24 appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side so far this term, the Spaniard has bagged a single goal and two further assists for the Old Gold (per Transfermarkt).
To boot with his three direct goal involvements, Jonny also has a sturdy 6.88/10 average rating for the season so far (per Whoscored), leaving many full of praise for the 25-year-old.

What do we think?
As many of the fans suggested, what Jonny does for Wolves often goes under the radar but he is incredibly consistent and very much deserving of the praise that is being sent his way.
