Ogo Obi (born 7 May 1998) was a forward for Watford. He has just been released. He was at one time known as the Nigerian Messi.
Obi joined the Hornets’ Academy as an Under-11. In 2014 he netted three goals in four games for Manchester United at the Milk Cup tournament in Northern Ireland while on trial with the Reds.
He became a Watford scholar after signing a two-year deal with that club in 2014 and signed a one-year professional contract to take effect in 2016/17 following his scholarship.
Now, I realise kids often progress backwards and early promise turns into Jacob Mellis, but Ogo Obi clearly had something quite recently. Recruiting the young worked for Jeremy Corbyn. That might be just the kind of momentum we need as a club.
