Phil Ofosu-Ayeh is not part of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ plans going forward, according to a report.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have omitted Phil Ofosu-Ayeh from their pre-season tour of Switzerland.

Ofosu-Ayeh, who joined Wolves on a Bosman last summer from Eintracht Braunschweig, is yet to make a senior appearance under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The 26-year-old’s failure at Molineux can be attributed to a series of recurring ankle problems.

And according to The Express and Star, Nuno has elected against bringing the one-time Ghana international to Switzerland and he isn’t “believed” to be part of the plan going forward.

If true, it is hardly surprising.

After all, Wolves are now a Premier League club and there is no room in the first-team squad for deadwood, as harsh as that might sound.

Ofosu-Ayeh, who played for the club’s Under-23 side toward the end of last season as he fought back from injury, might have been brilliant for Wanderers, but the reality is that his body has not allowed him to flourish in English football and if he ever does, it isn’t going to be at Wolves.
