West Ham's teenage winger Okoflex scores on his return to Glasgow Celtic
Published: July 24, 2021West Ham United registered an impressive 6-2 rout of Glasgow Celtic
in a pre-season friendly staged at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon,
with summer signing Armstrong Okoflex getting on the scoresheet for the
Premier League side.
The 19-year-old, a
former Arsenal schoolboy, was on the books of Celtic for three seasons
prior to his move to the Hammers on a 2+1 year deal last month.
Okoflex
has been in fine form for West Ham U23s in pre-season, so much so that
he has been handed call ups for a few matches played by the senior side.
He entered the game as a substitute thirteen minutes from time, replacing Algeria international Said Benrahma.
Eight
minutes after his introduction, Okoflex wrapped up the scoring with a
brilliant left-footed shot into the bottom corner after his cross for
Bowen was blocked.
West Ham's other
scorers were Michail Antonio (2), Mark Noble, Said Benrahma and Jarrod
Bowen, while Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie netted for Celtic.
2019 Nigeria U23 invitee Osaze Urhoghide came off the bench for Celtic in the 55th minute with the scores at 4-2.
