Jordi Osei-Tutu is to join Cardiff City on loan for the 2020-21 season, report Wales Online.
The 21 year old has undergone a medical this morning, and will spend the duration of the upcoming campaign with the Championship side.
It’s a second season out on loan for the defender who spent last season in Germany with VfL Bochum. It was a move which began in unpleasant fashion, as he was subjected to racist abuse in a pre-season friendly, and it took him some time to find his feet with the Bundesliga 2 side.
However, as the season went on, he played more often, and tellingly was moved further forward – often being used as a right winger. He impressed Vfl fans, and end the season with 5 goals and 3 assists.
Osei-Tutu signed a contract extension before his loan move last summer, so likely has a couple of years to go on his current Arsenal deal.
He follows Matt Smith, Zech Medley and Trae Coyle as loan departures from Steve Bould’s Academy squad this summer.
Best of luck to him at Cardiff.
First they came for the scouts. Then they came for the right backs.
Brilliant?
Good luck to him for the upcoming season.
Curious if he will be used as right back or winger.
Hope he get good and be a starter next season.watch this guy he has something in him.
looks like our crystal ball didn’t survive the clear out too
German racism should be good prep for Wales
GermanSwiss. Was in a match against St GallenWelsh aren’t racist. They’re specific xenophobes. They tend to hate the English, not people of different races.
Tata, Tutu
Our future right back.
