Oluwayemi has previously been called up to represent Nigeria at senior level, despite his lack of league club experience.

He has played for Tottenham in the EFL Trophy and also has had a spell in non-league on loan at Maidstone.

Perhaps some Spurs fans will be watching his progress on the south coast with interest as he looks to establish himself as a first team goalkeeper.
