Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro, the custodian for AZ Alkmaar, is apparently admired by Chelsea and the Old Gold, who are rumoured to be among Wolves’ transfer targets.
Wolves are anticipating a better summer than the previous one as Gary O’Neil looks to win over Fosun to make additions during the transfer season.
The Englishman has been a master at managing the withered team he took over from Julen Lopetegui; their depth deficiencies have only lately surfaced as a result of a slew of injuries.
With six Premier League games remaining in 2023–2024, O’Neil is still very much in the driver’s seat. However, the manager will be focusing a little more on the summer transfer market, where adjustments must be made.
The manager, who is forty years old, has expressed his displeasure in the media in recent weeks over Wolves’ inability to sign players in January due to financial constraints. It is believed that the summer would allow him the chance to bolster his team.
Even though O’Neil’s team hasn’t had many forwards, sources have indicated that this summer could see improvements at a different position.
Wolves are “watching” Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro, the custodian for AZ Alkmaar.
Journalist Liam Keen of Express & Star said that Wolves are “still monitoring” Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro, a 19-year-old custodian, in front of the next transfer window.
According to the report, the Old Gold were ‘exploring’ a potential £2 million deal last year, but the player stayed at AZ Alkmaar because the team wanted to give him more time to stay in the Netherlands.
The U23 scout Antonio Mango praised the “exceptional” kid, and a list of clubs that value his skill suggests that it might not be simple for Wolves to sign him.
Chelsea, who are “closely following his development,” is one of the Premier League opponents that have joined the Midlands club, along with Anderlecht.
Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro: who is he?
Due to his skill in leading AZ to victory in the UEFA Youth League the previous season and his consistent performance throughout the competition, Owusu-Oduro is a well-known name at the U19 level.
After making four appearances in the Eredivisie this season for his club, the Dutchman—who Antonio Mango called a “outstanding talent” for his performance in the competition—is starting to make an impression on senior football.

Although he has mainly played as Mat Ryan’s backup this season because of the Australian’s contract situation, there is thought to be a chance that he may eventually take the starting position.
Express and Star have noted that the Old Gold appears to prefer having the teenager on the side when it comes to Wolves is “no suggestion” as to whether Dan Bentley or Jose Sa would be a suitable replacement for the young player.
