Arsenal have joined Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in the race to land Wolves youngster Owen Otasowie.
That’s according to the Metro, who claim that the trio, along with Bundesliga side Schalke, are all monitoring the teenager ahead of a possible cut-price deal next summer.
Otasowie is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to make a senior appearance for Wolves.
The 18-year-old, who can represent England, USA or Nigeria at international level, has caught the eye in front of scouts turning out for Wolves’ Under-23 and Under-21 sides.

Arsenal are known for turning young prospects into first-team stars, so there’s no surprise to see that they are interested in Otasowie’s services.
The youngster can play in midfield or at the heart of the defence, two areas where Arsenal really need to strengthen.
Although Otasowie would more than likely go into the club’s academy should he switch the Midlands for London, it could turn out to be a shrewd piece of business down the line.
And with the starlet set to be available for a compensation fee as things stand, we feel like the Gunners need to keep tabs on the teenager.
