Tanto excited about "huge opportunity"
14th July 2020
New recruit Isaac 'Tanto' Olaofe is excited about the "huge opportunity" he has to showcase his abilities in the Scottish Premiership following his arrival on-loan from Millwall.
Tanto - who spent a short period on-loan at National Leaugue outfit Sutton United last season - worked with Manager Callum Davidson at Millwall and is looking forward to doing so once again at McDiarmid Park.
"I've known about the possibility of coming here for a few weeks now," he said, "and I'm really looking forward to getting started.
"I'm eager to crack on with the lads and show everyone what I can do. I feel like it's a huge opportunity for me playing in the Scottish Premiership and a chance for me to get some game time.
"I had a good experience with Sutton United it was just unfortunate that it was cut short. I managed to get five games under my belt and I feel like I did alright despite my time there ending prematurely due to the pandemic.
"I'm looking forward to working with the Manager again. At Millwall he spoke to me a lot and really tried to improve my game on the training pitch with his tips."
On his nickname, the 20-year-old striker said: "It comes from my middle name. Everyone always calls me Tanto!"
Tanto spoke to Saints TV today along with his Millwall teammate and fellow new recruit Danny McNamara.
