WOLVES youngster Owen Otasowie has Europe’s top clubs looking at snapping him up on the cheap.
The centre-back, 18, qualifies for THREE countries and caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain after playing against them in the Premier League International Cup for Wolves’ Under-23s.

But along with the French giants, there is interest from German club Schalke, who have a reputation for pushing youngsters through.
The Bundesliga giants currently have ex-Huddersfield boss David Wagner in charge.
Euro scouts are aware the teenager is out of contract in the summer and moves for training compensation should he move abroad.
But Premier League clubs are also monitoring his progress at Molineaux, with Arsenal and Liverpool tracking him.
Otasowie can play for England, Nigeria or USA but has not decided on his international future yet.
The versatile star, who can also play in midfield, only joined Wolves’ Under-23s squad in July.
He’s been mostly limited to bench appearances, having managed just 86 minutes across four games in the Premier League 2.
And Otasowie has also played twice in the EFL trophy, for 102 minutes in total.
However, he has begun to rack up the appearances more in recent weeks, playing the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 defeat against Blackpool – where he played as a defensive midfielder.
Just days early, he played a half of the Under-23s’ 2-2 draw with Derby.
