Mipo Odubeko Shines Bright

17th October 2022

Mipo Odubeko’s loan move to Port Vale from West Ham this summer has proven to be a pivotal step in his development as a player. Since stepping onto the pitch, the young striker has shown significant growth in his game, demonstrating his potential and determination to make an impact.

His first goal for the club came against Cheltenham Town, where he showcased his aerial prowess by finishing a well-delivered cross with a precisely placed header. This goal marked a significant milestone in his journey with Port Vale.

This weekend, Mipo further solidified his status as a game-changer by scoring his second goal as a substitute against Forest Green Rovers. Demonstrating quick thinking and awareness, the 19-year-old found space in a crowded box and slotted the ball home just eight minutes after entering the game. His timely contribution sparked a remarkable comeback for Port Vale, who were trailing 2-0 before his introduction. The match ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, highlighting Mipo's ability to influence the game positively. As he continues to refine his skills, we look forward to witnessing his ongoing ascent in the world of football.
