Peterborough United co-owner dismisses link with Premier League youngster
Peterborough United co-owner Darragh MacAnthony has dismissed a report linking his club with a loan move for highly-regarded Wolves youngster Owen Otasowie.
MacAnthony said ‘there was absolutely no truth’ in a story that appeared in several news outlets yesterday (July 27).
Posh and a host of Championship clubs including Luton Town and Coventry City were also reportedly interested in a a9 year-old comfortable in a defensive midfield role or the centre of defence.
Liverpool and Arsenal are understood to be monitoring Otasowie with a view to making him a permanent signing.
Posh are light in central midfield areas, but are known to be trying to bring Reece Brown back to the club on loan from Huddersfield. Posh released centre-back Rhys Bennett at the end of last season.
Otasowie is a United States youth international who made his first-team debut for Wolves in a Europa League tie last season and has sat on the substitutes’ bench at a couple of Premier League games.
He signed a new contract at Molineux in January.
