Official : Versatile Nigerian Midfielder Signs New Wolverhampton Wanderers Deal
Published: January 01, 2020Versatile Nigerian midfielder Owen Otasowie has ended speculation about his future by signing a new deal with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolves confirmed through their official website on New Year's Day that Otasowie has put pen to paper on a new two-and-a-half-year deal with the club after impressing at both under-23 and senior level this season.
The 18-year-old could remain at the Molineux until the end of the 2022-2023 season if Wolves exercise their option for a further year.
"Over the past months, I think it is clear to see that Owen has the potential to be a very good player and we have been pleased with his recent attitude and application," Wolves Sporting director Kevin Thelwell said.
"He’s a player who has recognised the importance of being professional, working hard, and with all the technical ability and physical potential he has, it’s now starting to come to fruition.
"We hope Owen can maintain his recent progress to continue to grow into another Academy graduate that will challenge for first-team football both now and in the future."
