Michael Obafemi: Swansea City sign Southampton and Republic of Ireland striker

Michael Obafemi's one cap for the Republic of Ireland so far came in 2018

Swansea City have signed striker Michael Obafemi from Southampton for an undisclosed fee thought to be between £1.5m and £2m.

The 21-year-old Republic of Ireland international has signed a three-year contract.

The Swans had been interested in signing Obafemi in January before an injury scuppered the move.

He scored four goals in 32 Premier League appearances for Southampton, 23 of which were as a substitute.
