Coming immediately to reinforce the defense.

Genoa Calciomercato: with Alessandro Vogliacco transferred on loan to Parma, the Grifone immediately runs for cover. Thursday, in fact, came the official announcement of the arrival of a new defender. He is the very young Sebastian Otoa, a center back who will be 21 years old next May.

"Sebastian Otoa è a new player for Genoa. The Danish defender, born in Roskilde on 13/05/2004, arrives permanently from Aalborg with whom he made 44 appearances scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Welcome to Genoa, Sebastian!", è the official statement with which the Rossoblù welcomed the player.

Genoa, moreover, continued the recent habit of introductions that wink at pop culture. After Mario Balotelli's arrival had been greeted with colors and graphics clearly inspired by the SuperMario video game, the welcome to the Grifone’s new defender traced those of the movie Toy Story, for the occasion modified into "Otoa Story".

With Otoa on the roster, Patrick Vieira will have an important alternative to starters Bani and Vasquez. The class of 2004 center-back, who is an impressive 198 centimeters tall, was also coveted by Verona before it was Genoa that secured him.
