Wolves’ search for a goalkeeper has heightened in recent weeks, with Jose Sa rumoured to be a potential exit.
Wolves were reported last week to be facing a potential shock exit, with Portuguese goalkeeper Jose Sa linked with interest from Saudi Arabia.
It is believed that a fee of £40m could potentially be gained from the sale, which has left many believing Wolves would be mad to turn it down.
Jose Sa therefore could be on his way which has led to multiple reports linking Old Gold to a new goalkeeper.
Aaron Ramsdale was linked over last weekend, while earlier this season young French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes was mentioned as attracting Wolves interested.
Now, Liam Keen has suggested that Matt Hobbs and Co could be looking at another talented young keeper.
Wolves linked with Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro
According to Express and Star’s Liam Keen, Wolves are ‘exploring’ a deal to sign 19-year-old ‘wonderkid’ goalkeeper Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
It is believed that should Wolves move quickly, AZ could be willing to accept a deal which could be valued as low as £2m for the UEFA Youth League-winning goalkeeper last season.
The Dutch goalkeeper currently plays for AZ Alkmaar and has appeared nine times for their reserves in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie this season according to Transfermarkt.
Keen adds that AZ are close to securing a new contract with the youngster which is likely to defer interest from both Wolves and Anderlecht in the Belgian league.
Would Owusu-Oduro be a good Jose Sa replacement?
If Wolves were to sell Sa, replacing him with Owusu-Oduro wouldn’t be the wisest decision given the gulf in quality and experience of the two right now.
Sa is a Portugal international with bags of experience at the highest level, while Owusu-Oduro while promising is nowhere near that level right now.
However, at just £2m, we imagine that there would also be an experienced keeper brought in alongside the youngster possibly in the ilk of Ramsdale as previously mentioned.
This move seems very much like one which would be for the future and therefore likely unrelated to the future of Sa, given he wouldn’t be a direct replacement.
