REPUBLIC OF IRELAND underage international Armstrong Oko-Flex strengthened his first-team credentials with a stunning solo goal for West Ham’s U23s last night.
Oko-Flex has sat on the bench for recent Premier League games, but returned to action for the club’s U23s against Exeter last night.
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.
Brolly has been treating Darragh Maloney the same way that the school brat treats a substitute teacher.
Be great to see Michael back. Not the same without him but in saying that Darragh has been doing an absolutely sterling job in his absence as you would expect. Best presenter RTE have across the board.
Thank god for that , he’s the only one who knows how to handle the pundits and get the debates going
Will be great to have you back Michael
