In-form Ghanaian defender Jordi Osei-Tutu was on target for VfL Bochum in their 2-2 stalemate with Greuther Furth in the German Bundesliga 2 on Sunday.

Osei-Tutu has been superb for the Blue and Whites since the resumption of the campaign.

The on-loan Arsenal right-back had netted three goals for the side prior to the match against Greuther Furth at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Sunday.

Despite Bochum starting the game brightly, it was Greuther Furth who got their noses in front courtesy Branimir Hrgota’s 7th minute strike.

The visitors looked to be ending the first half on top until Robert Tesche pulled parity for Bochum on the 43rd minute.

Bochum continued from where they left off in the second stanza as Osei-Tutu struck on the 52nd minute to hand his side a deserved lead.

However, Furth fought back to draw 2-2 through Sebastian Ernst in the 79th minute.

Osei-Tutu lasted the entire duration for Bochum.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reported to be an admirer of the youngster.

The Spaniard wants to give him an opportunity to rival Hector Bellerin for the right-back position next season.
