Michael Obafemi ‘certain he wants to play for Ireland’
He's also probably the least Irish player ever to play for us (his own brother isn't even eligible as far as I know) and it's only natural to think he might want to play for England or Nigeria if the opportunity arose and if his career continues to gain pace.
