GIF: Seattle wonderkid Obafemi Martins shows why he’s one to watch for the future

This kid's got potential

Ben Kiely

Martins used his youthful agility to make a Houston Dynamo defender look like a chump before netting a beauty.

Hot prospect Obafemi Martins scored a magnificent goal that clinched all three points for the Sounders.

The youngster was on his own surrounded by Houston players and looked destined to lose possession. However, he managed to pull off an insane 360 turn to bamboozle a Dynamo player and cut inside the box.

From there, he showed composure of a man 20-30 years older to slot the ball past the keeper and into the back of the net.

He’s one to watch for the future, for sure.
