Wanderers have completed the signing of Jordi Osei-Tutu – and are closing in on another new addition.

Wing-back Osei-Tutu arrives from German club Bochum for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper over an initial two-year deal, becoming the club’s seventh signing of the summer.

“Jordi is a player with very high pedigree,” said Ian Evatt. “He has played in the Bundesliga, I watched him play against Borussia Dortmund and Jude Bellingham so he is used to playing at a high level.

“Really dynamic, speed, he is very good one-v-one. He can dribble, take people on and I think that is something we need to add to our game this season.”

The 25-year-old started out at Reading before joining Arsenal’s Academy set-up in 2015, signing his first professional deal later that year.

Osei-Tutu made the bench in a handful of Premier League games and also enjoyed loan spells with Cardiff and Nottingham Forest to gain experience in the Football League.

He also spent time at Rotherham, helping the club secure promotion from League One during the second half of the 2021/22 campaign. His time at the Millers included a memorable goal in the EFL Trophy final as Sutton were eventually beaten in extra time.

The wing-back made a permanent switch to Bochum in 2022 and got more good experience under his belt in the Bundesliga.

Evatt added: “Jordi has had one or two injury issues, nothing major really, but some frustrating ones which have probably hindered the amount of games he has played.

“But if he had played every season from when he started to now, we probably wouldn’t be getting Jordi because as I said, his pedigree is very good.

“He is a top player, he has got lots of great attributes that are really going to suit what we want to do this season.”

Osei-Tutu arrives at Wanderers following a loan spell in Greece and will wear the 14 shirt at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Evatt is also aiming to have another body through the door soon and the club will then “re-evaluate” their strategy heading into the final weeks of the window.

“I think there will be more to come,” he continued. “I think at least one, and then we will re-evaluate.

“We are pretty close to what I want us to look like. There maybe some exits along the way but that is the nature of football.

“Football is a game where players want to play and you can only play 11. It is only really the 11 who are happy and everyone else, you have got to try and manage.

“That becomes more challenging and difficult the more experienced players get. They want that regular first-team spot so to speak and want to finish their week with a match.

“I understand that, I was a player once. We are not going to hold anyone here against their will. If they find something else that suits them better than we do, we wish them well.”
