Club career
Born in Glasgow, Otoo began his career with Eastwood Boys Club, before joining the academy of Celtic at the age of eight. He progressed through the academy, signing his first professional contract with the club in June 2019, and the following month he made his unofficial debut in a 1–0 friendly win against Airdrieonians.On 23 March 2021, he joined Scottish League One side Clyde on a season-long loan deal. Shortly after joining, Clyde manager Danny Lennon praised Otoo, saying that he had "fantastic energy", a "terrific attitude", and that he was "years ahead in terms of maturation". In May of the same year, following the conclusion of the season, he returned to Celtic, thanking Clyde for the opportunity.
On his return to Celtic, he went on to captain the club's B team in the Lowland League, where his performances reportedly attracted the attention of English sides Aston Villa, Fulham and Burnley. Despite this interest, he went on to join Scottish League One side Dunfermline Athletic on a loan deal in February 2023.
Having helped Dunfermline Athletic to promotion to the Scottish Championship, he returned to the club the following year on a permanent deal. On his return, he stated that he "didn't want last season to end" and that Dunfermline was "the best place to continue development". In his first game on his return to the club, he scored Dunfermline's equalising goal in an eventual 2–1 win against Airdrieonians.
