Owen Otasowie: What position does he play?
Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty ImagesAt 20 years old, Owen Otasowie is making inroads with the Wolverhampton Wanderers, has his first cap for the United States Men’s National Team, and is so ripped he’d put any male contingent on Love Island to shame. But let’s be honest, any positional conversation or projection for the USMNT is premature.
Make no mistake, there’s plenty of space for debate: is he a centerback, a number 6, a box-to-box central midfielder, false 9? Otasowie has played all of them in the last few years at professional and youth levels and we’ve only briefly seen him in a U.S. shirt.
