He scored the second goal of a 3-0 win with a stunning solo goal: collecting the ball midway in his own half, Oko-Flex slalomed forward, beat just the four players, exchanged a quick one-two with another Irish underage international, Mipo Odubeko, and then slammed the ball into the bottom corner.
Oko-Flex first exhibited his talent at St Kevin’s Boys in Dublin, before moving to the Arsenal academy. He moved to Celtic in 2018, and made a first-team debut for the club in January 2021. He then signed a tw0-year deal with West Ham last summer.
Oko-Flex has been capped competitively by Ireland at U19 level and was included in Jim Crawford’s most recent U21 squad last year. Prior to that, England capped him in a non-competitive U17 international at a time when he was not technically eligible to represent them.
