Michael Obafemi endured a tough start to life at Swansea City.
The striker joined the Swans from Southampton on transfer deadline day last summer but desperately struggled to impress the current coaching staff. Such were his struggles, Obafemi found himself in and out of the team, with the 4-0 loss to Bournemouth in November serving as a pivotal moment for the forward after he was dropped from the squad altogether.
But following a tough festive period, Russell Martin saw signs that Obafemi was close to turning the corner. Since netting the winner against Blackburn Rovers on February 5, the frontman bagged six goals in nine outings for the Swans having only scored once in his first 15 appearances in all competitions for the club.
