Highly-rated striker who scored TEN goals in one game ‘accepts offer from Man United’ after leaving Arsenal

Manchester United has reportedly secured a promising striker from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

Chido Obi-Martin, a 16-year-old Danish forward, confirmed his exit from the Gunners through an Instagram post on Monday night.

In his statement, he expressed gratitude to Arsenal: ‘I want to sincerely thank everyone associated with Arsenal for the past four years. The experiences and personal development I’ve undergone here have been invaluable.’

‘A special thanks to the coaches, staff, and teammates at Hale End. The memories I’ve made will remain with me forever.’

‘Thank you once again for this journey. I wish everyone continuous success and the best for the future.’

Obi-Martin has reportedly agreed to move to Manchester United after leaving the Gunners

Just a day after Obi-Martin’s announcement, Fabrizio Romano stated via X (formerly Twitter) that he accepted United’s offer, despite having a better financial proposal from a German club.

Reports suggest that Obi-Martin was drawn to Manchester due to the exciting project underway at the club.

Obi-Martin began his journey with Arsenal after joining from Kjobenhavns Boldklub in Denmark.

He made his debut for Arsenal’s U18 team at the age of 15, scoring a hat-trick on his first appearance.

His most outstanding moment with Arsenal came in a U16 match last November, where he astonishingly scored 10 goals in a 14-3 victory over Liverpool.

Five months later, he scored seven goals in a 9-0 defeat of Norwich at the U18 level.
