Three of the last Ireland matches have featured a forward partnership of Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi but the latter admits his continuation is dependent on an uptick at Swansea City.

A failed transfer swoop by Burnley for Obafemi last month didn’t end on deadline day, for Russell Martin’s annoyance at the player’s attitude led to a period of banishment.
