Obafemi happy learning from Ings, Long at Southampton

Michael Obafemi is happy working with senior Southampton teammates Shane Long and Danny Ings.

Long, 33, and Ings, 27, are both experienced professionals and know what it takes to carve out a successful career.

Because of this, Obafemi admits to paying close attention to the duo in training.

But he also reveals their advice extends beyond the Staplewood turf and that he is grateful they give him the time.

“Just being in and around the squad I can learn a lot from them in the finishing drills and just watching their movements and stuff like that," the 19-year-old told the Daily Echo.

“I'm glad to be here and glad I am able to watch them."

“All the boys chip in and give me advice and I'm thankful to all of them."
