Oduwa was born in England, and has represented England up to U20 level, but through his heritage he also has the option to represent Nigeria.

Club career

Oduwa has been with Tottenham Hotspur from the age of 11, and has risen through the ranks and signing his professional contract in July 2012 and played for the club's Under-18 team, making 20 appearances and scoring 10 goals during the 2013–14 season.[2] Oduwa was promoted to the Under-21 team the subsequent season and on 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Oduwa joined Luton Town on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season.[3]

He made his Football League debut as a substitute for Shaun Whalley on 7 February 2015 in a 1–1 draw against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium.[4] He made a total of elven appearances for Luton, many of them coming from the bench.

On 13 August 2015, Oduwa, alongside Spurs teammate, Dominic Ball, signed for Scottish Championship club Rangers on loan till the end of the season, making his début as a substitute in a 5–1 victory over Alloa Athletic on 16 August 2015.[5] He sparked controversy by performing a rainbow flick, which an Alloa defender called "disrespectful". Oduwa scored his first goal for the Ibrox club in a 4–0 win over Dumbarton on 1 December 2015. [6] By late October, he had managed four assists,[7] as well as winning several penalties. However, as Rangers sought more permanent options in Oduwa's position, his loan spell was cut short, and he returned to Tottenham Hotspur on 17 January 2016.[8]

International career

Oduwa has represented England at multiple youth levels. In September 2015, he was named in the England U-20 squad,[9] the highest level of international football he's played at so far.

Style of play

Oduwa mainly plays as a left winger, although he is also capable of playing on the right wing. He has a very direct playstyle, and uses pace, dribbling and tricks (such as his controversial "rainbow flick"[10]) to beat defenders. He provides assists with his balls in from wide positions, and also draws a lot of fouls.[11] [12]
