    Some pictures from Southampton's first team training session on Tuesday: https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-...p-fourth-round - Obafemi features in a few but picture 5 is also of interest - if I'm not terribly mistaken, that's Jonathan Afolabi - is he close to a first team call-up?

    Am I right in saying Afolabi was born and raised in Dublin?

    One thing I must wonder about Obafemi is how did anyone become aware he was born in Dublin to call him up?

    I think someone at the FAI heard the name and thought he was O'Bafemy.

    it is him, but he's lining out for the Southampton U18's today, alongside Will Smallbone and Sean Brennan

    Dublin born and raised - Played schoolboy football for Shamrock Rovers and St Joseph's Boys before Southampton came calling: http://www.extratime.ie/player/11126...athan_afolabi/ Entirely possible that Afolabi could have been the one to bring Obafemi into the fold - ie Obafemi to Afolabi: "you know, I was actually born in Dublin too"; Afolabi to Obafemi "Really? How interesting"

    "I'm Barack Obama of the Moneygall Obamas - I've come to get my apostrophe back." Yes, we'll be having variations on that joke more regularly now.

    Came on for the last 17 minutes - unfortunately they were already facing a drubbing by then: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46007194 - but it's a terrific breakthrough anyway. Hopefully he can cement his place in the first-team squad this time. Don't know about playing against Denmark (Robinson and Maguire need the minutes, although I guess bringing him on at the end couldn't hurt) but definitely time to have a chat about his future - I think I hear ears pointing upwards in FA HQ already

    Strange that Afolabi is rated higher than him by the Irish setup but Southampton rate Obafemi higher...

    Afolabi usually starts for Ireland underage ahead of Obafemi but Obafemi starts for Southampton U23's ahead of Afolabi.

    Obafemi's erratic attendance of the Ireland camps might impact this, no?

    he may not be. He trained with Nigeria at maybe under 17s but I wasn't aware he trained with brits?

    The only thing that makes me think he might be staying with us is that he was free to switch to England 19s this season but has not been in their squads so far. There 19s will likely win the euros so if you were half interested wouldn't you switch?
