ARMSTRONG Oko-Flex, the young footballer who once showed promise at Celtic, is now in search of a new club after being released by West Ham.
The 21-year-old Irish youth international, who also played for the England U16 team, had joined Celtic from Arsenal in 2018 when he was just 16 years old.
Oko-Flex was tipped for big things when he made the switch from the Emirates to Parkhead. He made his debut for Celtic in a Premiership match against Hibs in January 2021, playing in a heavily rotated side due to a COVID outbreak within the squad.
However, just four months later, he decided to leave Celtic, realising he had no future in Glasgow.
The young forward was given an opportunity at West Ham, where he initially seemed to thrive in the academy.
He even scored against Celtic in a pre-season friendly just weeks after leaving the club. However, two years later, he finds himself without a club and on the hunt for new opportunities.

Despite the early promise he showed, Oko-Flex now faces the challenge of finding a new club and proving his worth all over again.
