Young Talent Okoduwa to Decide Wolves Future Amid Chelsea Interest
Sixteen year old Wesley Okoduwa, son of former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Okoduwa, will soon make a decision regarding his future with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The young talent has caught the attention of Premier League giants Chelsea, who are keen to bolster their academy with his signing.
Wesley, who turned sixteen last month, is now eligible to sign scholarship forms with Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, his current schoolboy registration is set to expire at the end of this month, and the Molineux Stadium outfit faces a challenge to retain him.
Emmanuel Okoduwa, known for his successful stints with Ukrainian clubs Shakhtar Donetsk and Arsenal Kyiv, and his instrumental role in Nigeria's 2003 African Games silver medal win, has stated that he will not influence his son's decision. Wesley's impressive performances last season, which included call ups for five Premier League matches against top teams like Newcastle United and Manchester City, have significantly raised his profile.
Internationally, Wesley was part of the Young Lions squad that won the Football Federations Cup in February 2024, further cementing his reputation as a promising young player.
