Dutch and French clubs interested in Irish-Nigerian attacker ahead of West Ham departure

English Premier League club West Ham United will publish their retained and released list before the end of this month. 

Allnigeriasoccer.com can report with certainty that Republic of Ireland youth international of Nigerian descent Mipo Odubeko will be bidding farewell to the Hammers upon the expiry of his contract on June 30, 2023.

The powerful center forward is leaving West Ham after making two appearances for the first team, both of them coming in the Emirates FA Cup in the second half of the 2020-2021 season. 

He received eighteen call-ups for Premier League matches but was not utilized off the bench by manager David Moyes. 

Odubeko could be moving abroad this summer, with French and Dutch clubs genuinely interested in signing the 20-year-old. 

The former Manchester United schoolboy took in loan spells at Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Port Vale during his time at West Ham. 

Overall, he totaled 49 appearances for the Football League clubs, scoring six goals.  

In West Ham circles, Odubeko will best be remembered for his prolific goalscoring form for the Hammers youth teams, having netted seventeen goals in nineteen matches for the development squad in the Premier League 2 and Papa Johns Trophy. 

He scored an impressive eleven goals in nine appearances combined in the U18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup.
