Wolves youngster Buur’s new deal could mean curtains for outcast Iorfa

Wolverhampton Wanderers have handed a new deal to youngster Oskar Buur.

The highly rated right-back joined the club last year from Aarhus GF, and made his first-team bow in the EFL Cup against Bristol Rovers, before debuting in the Championship against Hull City – a game in which he actually scored an important equaliser.

Buur featured in pre-season for Wolves and regularly trains with the first-team, but Nuno Espirito Santo hasn’t yet called on the Danish defender this season.

He has, however, been a regular for the U23s, featuring nine times in PL2 so far this season.

He’ll be delighted to bag himself a new deal, but one man who might be concerned about the development could be forgotten man Dominic Iorfa.

End of the road for Iorfa?

Iorfa has been with Wolves since 2013 after coming up through the Black Country club’s youth system.

He burst onto the scene in the 2014/15 season, but really established himself in 2015/16, making 42 league appearances.

But last term he was loaned out to Ipswich Town, and this season he has appeared just twice in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Iorfa appears to have lost his way at Molineux in the last couple of years, and news of Buur’s new deal could see him leave in January.

Clearly the club feel confident enough in Buur that he can have a successful future at the club.

It is perhaps an indicator that he might soon be ready to challenge Matt Doherty for a place in the first-team, since he currently has no competition.
