He represented England at under-15 and under-16 levels before switching to Ireland for under-19s. I'm not sure what his Irish connection is or how committed he is to the green but the danger is always there another Grealish/ Rice situation may develop if he is really good. Let's hope not. He is right to go out on loan, young players will not get their chance under Mourinho.

His dad is Irish, I’m fairly sure

Edmonton borders Tottenham, I think. Another Ireland international from the area is Joe O'Cearuill, ex Arsenal, who I think still lives there. It's good that Jamie is first generation as he may be more likely to stay with us if his career takes off. I recall him being tipped as a future England international not so long ago.

Google tells me he was born in Edmonton.  Having lived in Edmonton, it may as well be Tottenham.  Hey impressed you lived in Edmonton and lived to tell the tale really .

Aston Villa are reported to be planning a £10 million offer for Michael Obafemi, with West Brom also interested.

Can't remember the last irish player to transfer for £10+ million, 

It would be a bad move for him but maybe he is third/fouth choice now after the close of the season. If that is the case then he has no choice. Not sure why Southampton would sell a 20 year old striker though. I would personally move Long on before Obafemi.

Cheers for the heads-up.
