Philip Otele, born on 15 April 1999 (age 27), is a Nigerian right winger with Basel, where he wears number 7. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Basel has given Otele the clearest shape of his career. Across three seasons he has made 39 league appearances and scored 14 league goals, with his strongest league return coming in 2024-25, when he scored nine times in 18 appearances.
In 2026-27, he has remained involved for Basel across domestic and European football, with eight appearances and four goals in all competitions. His Europa League work has been part of that, with seven appearances and two goals.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in January 2026 while still at Basel. At this stage, Otele’s profile is straightforward enough: a productive wide player whose reputation has been built mainly in Switzerland, rather than across a long list of clubs.
