Michael Obafemi has won 11 caps for the Republic of Ireland

Millwall have signed Burnley's Republic of Ireland striker Michael Obafemi on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has struggled to make an impact at Turf Moor since joining permanently in the summer from Swansea City, having previously been on loan.

He has made just two appearances as a substitute in the Premier League this season and last scored in February.

Obafemi began his career at Southampton before moving to Swansea in the summer of 2021

"Michael is a player who can add a new, exciting dynamic to the squad and we are really pleased to welcome him to the club," Millwall director of football operations and recruitment Alex Aldridge told the club website.

"Heading into this transfer window, adding additional strength to our attacking areas was one of our main objectives, and when Michael became available on loan, we felt we had a great opportunity to sign a forward who has proven his quality at this level."
