Burnley thrill fans with another hilarious transfer reveal as they confirm Michael Obafemi deal with Gavin & Stacey clip
BURNLEY have pulled it out the bag again as their social media team left fans in stitches with another brilliant transfer announcement.
The runaway Championship leaders completed the signing of striker Michael Obafemi on-loan from Swansea until the end of the season on Sunday.
And the 22-year-old’s arrival was announced with yet another epic social media video.
Burnley opted for a Gavin and Stacey inspired clip for the Republic of Ireland star.
In the video, Obafemi receives a call from Smithy, the character played by James Corden in the hit BBC comedy series.
The hotshot answers the phone and Smithy his sister, Rudy, then produce a rendition of Estelle and Kanye West’s ‘American Boy’ song.
Obafemi starts to chuckle before telling them it’s “very good” and then asks how long it took to put it together – to which the response is “two or three weeks”.
Fans absolutely loved it, and many are claiming it is the media team’s best one yet.
One person tweeted: “I don’t know who gave this admin the confidence to pull these off but I’m here for it.”
Another commented: “Burnley have the best announcement videos in the world.”

While a fellow fan wrote: “Babe wake up, Burnley just dropped another transfer announcement video.”
It comes days after Vincent Kompany’s side completed the £8m signing of the 22-year-old South African hitman Lyle Foster from KVC Westerlo on Wednesday afternoon.
And Burnley announced the deal with an incredible Shrek video.
The Turf Moor club have produced a Hollywood parody for every new signing since the start of January 2022 when a Jurassic Park parody was made for Wout Weghorst, who is now on loan at Manchester United.
