Will Owen Otasowie make it to a consistent first-team standard for Wolves?Yes, he will be class
No, not good enough |
Prior to the contract signing, a number of big clubs were circling to attempt to sign the 18-year-old American from under Nuno Espirito Santo’s nose, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain touted (per Daily Mail).
However, Otasowie’s new contract has poured cold water on those rumours as it looks as though the midfielder is set to stay, leaving many Wolves fans to pay testament to his ability.

What do we think?
With the gargantuan names that were reportedly circling for Otasowie, it is a testament to what the Old Gold are doing in the academy that the American wanted to stay at Molineux.
In football, there is no smoke without fire and the three clubs listed would not be interested if there was no substance to the 18-year-old’s abilities so, as many fans suggested, he could be a player with huge potential.
