Mipo Odubeko linked with Ligue 1 move to Le Havre

Irish-Nigerian striker Mipo Odubeko is the subject of transfer interest from French Ligue 1 club Le Havre, with his contract at Shelbourne due to expire on 30 November.

The 24-year-old centre-forward has made 16 appearances in the 2026 League of Ireland Premier Division, scoring four goals and providing two assists. He has also received two yellow cards during the campaign.

Odubeko joined Shelbourne from Fleetwood on a free transfer in January 2025 and has since become part of the Dublin club’s attacking options. His current market value is listed at €150,000.

The reported interest comes with Odubeko approaching the final weeks of his Shelbourne contract. There is no indication that a move to Le Havre has been agreed, and the rumour remains unconfirmed.

Born in Tallaght, Dublin, Odubeko has represented both Irish and Nigerian footballing backgrounds through his listed nationalities. Before moving to Shelbourne, he spent time with Fleetwood and Portuguese club Maritimo, having developed in the youth systems of West Ham United, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Odubeko’s current season record is four goals and two assists from 16 league appearances, with Shelbourne retaining him under contract until the end of November.
