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.
