Manchester United Eager to Sign Prodigy Striker Chido Obi-Martin
Manchester United are reportedly keen to finalize the signing of 16-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin as soon as possible. The Denmark Under-17 international has been making waves in the football world, and it’s no surprise that top clubs are vying for his signature.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Obi-Martin is set to make a decision on his future in the coming hours or days. The talented youngster has visited several clubs in the UK and Germany, weighing his options carefully.
Arsenal were keen to keep Obi-Martin and made him a contract offer, but it’s expected that he will move elsewhere. United are said to be eager to secure a deal for the striker, who has already shown impressive form for Arsenal’s youth teams.

Obi-Martin is best-known for his incredible goal-scoring record, including a remarkable 10 goals in one game for Arsenal against Liverpool at Under-16 level last year. He has also trained with the Arsenal first-team and featured for the Under-21s and in the UEFA Youth League.

The 16-year-old will be eligible to sign a professional contract when he turns 17 in November, but he can still sign scholarship terms prior to that. Obi-Martin scored a staggering 32 goals in 18 games for Arsenal U18s last season, breaking the record for the most goals by a Gunners player at that level in a single campaign.
In addition to his impressive goal-scoring record, Obi-Martin has also shown his versatility, featuring for the Under-21s and in the UEFA Youth League. He has already made a name for himself with his remarkable scoring runs, including a 17-minute hat-trick in a win against Norwich.
Obi-Martin has also been capped for Denmark and England at youth level, and is eligible to represent Nigeria through his father. However, it is understood that he can still switch allegiance back to England before he turns 18 if he wishes to.
