The announcement in detail:
PAEK PAOK announces the acquisition of Yoni Otto from Wolves. The Spaniard signed a contract with Dikefalos until 30.06 of 2025 and will wear the number 19 jersey.
Yoni was born on March 3, 1994 in Vigo, Spain. He started in the Telta youth ranks and made his debut with the first team in a Copa del Rey match against AlmerÃa on 31 October 2012.
The Spanish full-back stayed at Vigo for six seasons, making 221 appearances, five goals and 12 assists, playing at both ends of the defence. His performances caught the eye of Atletico Madrid, who in July 2018 spent €7,000,000 to sign him, immediately loaning him to Wolves.
His performance in the Premier League was impressive. In the first half at Wolverhampton he recorded 21 appearances with one goal and one assist and in January 2019 Wolves offered €21,000,000 to Atletico Madrid and acquired the full rights to the player.
In total at Wolves he played in 134 games, scoring six goals and providing five assists, numbers that could have been significantly higher had he not suffered two serious injuries in the 2020-21 season that kept him out of action for 16 months.
In 2018 he was called to the Spanish National Team after 32 appearances in the U21, U20 and U19, having even won the 2013 European Championship with the latter.
After a long career in LaLiga and the Premier League, Yoni is now ready to open a new chapter in his career with PAOK.
