Olufela Olomola Delighted To Make Southampton Bench For Premier League Tie Vs Sunderland

Olufela Olomola was delighted to be named among the substitutes for Southampton in their Premier League clash against Sunderland on Saturday.

Saints manager Ronald Koeman drafted the 18-year-old into the squad following injuries to first-team strikers Charlie Austin and Shane Long but failed to come off the bench.

“Tough game today a good point in the end buzzing to get on the bench for the first time,I give God the glory #49 , ”Olomola wrote on Twitter after the game at St. Mary’s Stadium.

A product of Arsenal Academy, Olomola joined Southampton in the summer of 2014 after he was courted by West Ham.

The Anglo-Nigerian has recorded six appearances in the U21 Premier League so far this season.
