The media yesterday’s likened the Irish strike partnership of Michael Obafemi and Troy Parrott to Spurs duo Harry Kane and Son after both scored and assisted each other.<\/p>\n
Parrott is well known to Swans boss Russell Martin after he signed the striker on loan for MK Dons just before leaving for South Wales last summer.<\/p>\n
He scored ten goals as the Dons just missed out on promotion to the Championship but – like Obafemi – found form as the season progressed netting six in his last twelve games.<\/p>\n
Should Joel Piroe depart for pastures new the Swans will be on the lookout for another forward and Parrott would fit the bill potentially on a loan deal.<\/p>\n
Obafemi spoke of the comparisons to the Tottenham stars and said: “Kind of, yes,\u201d he told reporters before adding with a smile: \u201cAnd then in the second half I turned into Harry Kane!<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I want to become a top player, I\u2019ve got to develop my game and not just be one-dimensional going in behind. I felt like this season I\u2019ve kind of done that, dropping short and getting the ball. Obviously we saw it today with me getting the assist and I\u2019m happy with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy to announce myself, and happy with the win. Troy played me the ball. It just opened up and I was like, \u2018hit it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like sometimes I don\u2019t take enough shots. Today I thought I\u2019d give it a go.I looked up and I saw the darting run, and I thought, \u2018I\u2019d better put it on his nugget. It was brilliant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe spoke about it before the game, our link up play, and you saw it today for the second goal.”<\/p>\n
Obafemi struck up a fruitful partnership with Piroe this season and should they both stay at Swansea that will hopefully flourish further. But perhaps there are further options if that wasn’t to happen…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
