Nigerian Midfielder Celebrates Maiden Goal For Tottenham Hotspur
Published: October 14, 2017
And it was a crucial goal as the Hammers were threatening a comeback after Bernado Rusa netted in the 71st minute to make it 2-1.
A minute later, the talented Nigerian midfielder made the game safe for Spurs when he fired a volley past goalkeeper Ros Harvey.
Prior to Omolabi's strike against West Ham, he had been involved in 20 league games for Spurs U18s and U23 teams spread across two seasons without finding the net.
Primarily a holding midfielder, he can also be asked to operate as a central defender just as he did today against the Hammers.
The 17-year-old joined Tottenham Hotspur from Ryan FC in Waltham Forest.
