FC Copenhagen’s director of development has said she will happily welcome back Chidozie Obi-Martin “when Arsenal doesn’t give him the chance”.
Obi-Martin has been lighting up the Premier League’s Under-18 division this year, bagging a ludicrous 24 goals in his last seven appearances.
The 16-year-old has caught the eyes with back-to-back games with four goals, a five-goal haul against West Ham U18, and most recently, scoring seven goals against Norwich City U18.
Arsenal snapped Obi-Martin up from Danish giants Copenhagen in 2022 and the teenager is eligible to represent Denmark, Nigeria or England at international level.
He has an impressive 10 goals in 14 caps for Denmark U17 and has also played for England’s U16 side.
Clearly a player with a big future in the game, it will be interesting to see if Mikel Arteta gives him a chance to impress in the first team.
Arteta handed a Premier League debut to Ethan Nwaneri when he was 15 years old, making him the youngest player to appear in the division.
