One goal hero from last season Oskar Buur faces a fight for Wolves career

Wolves success last season was largely down to a series of eye-catching signings and performances throughout the campaign.

However, in what looked like a procession toward the title, they nearly hit a stumbling block against struggling Hull City in April.

The Tigers were leading 2-1 against a sub-par Wolves, which looked like potentially opening the door for Cardiff City to stretch them in the title race.

However, in the 83rd minute, an unlikely hero came to the fore. Oskar Buur Rasmussen scored a header to earn a draw and Wolves went on to win the title comfortably.

Buur was signed from Brabrand IF after just a month with the club, following a surprise exit from AGF Aarhus.

Wolves obviously liked what they saw from the attack-minded right-back. However, his one goal came in his only appearance in the Championship. Promotion to the Premier League certainly did not help his chances of first-team football.

So does he have a future at Wolves?

It is hard to say. The Molineux club’s brilliance in the transfer market means replacements are often signed, rather than promoted under the Fosun regime.

Buur is still a regular in Rob Edwards’ under-23 side and at 20-years-old Wolves will not be giving up on his talent. But his current contract only runs until next summer and he faces a fight on his hands to force a Wolves renewal.
