The young lad to call to Team A of Southampton FC for his impressive performance with the U-18 team of the club.
Michael Obafemi is a 17-year young striker that has been noted to have a red eye for goal scoring, and he is about to make history in Premier League due to his quick transition to Team A of Southampton.
Obafemi has had an impressive playing time with the youth team of the English premier league side.
The Nigerian striker scored a hat-trick in 18 minutes during the 4-1 win of "The Saints" against the Wolves in an FA Youth Cup on December 14, 2017. As a result, he was automatically upgraded to the team A of the club.
“It’s a very special night. It’s my first hat-trick for the club, so it’s onwards and upwards from here,” said Obafemi.
“We’ve not had the best results from the youth level through to the first team, so it’s a big boost for the club.”
