The 19-year-old, who arrived at Wednesday last year following a successful trial after his release from AFC Wimbledon, sparked national headlines after a hugely impressive display in his first-team debut at Premier League Brighton in January.

It is understood that Wednesday have exercised a one-year option on his contract.
Speaking to The Star, Pattenden said: “Osaze is really happy at Sheffield Wednesday and is very much enjoying working under Garry Monk.
“The club have already made it clear that they want to tie him down on a long-term deal, and I think that if it wasn’t for this Coronavirus pandemic then it would have been done already.
