Owen will now look to establish himself and make an impact at the highest level of European football.

“The first time I came here, it immediately felt like a warm bad,” he told the club’s official website.

“I think I’m strong on the ball and I can physically do my part well. I am someone who is creative and loves to create opportunities, assists and goals.

“My goal is to adapt as quickly as possible here in the Netherlands. I want to play as much as possible. Whether that is at Jong FC Utrecht or the first team, it doesn’t really matter to me at the moment. I want to develop myself.”
