Arsenal is currently in discussions with the Nigerian agent of Chido Obi-Martin, Emeka Obasi from Elite Project Group, regarding a potential contract extension for the promising young forward. Despite reported interest from clubs like PSG and Real Madrid, the Gunners are keen to secure the 16-year-old’s future at the club.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal is actively negotiating contract terms with Obi-Martin, aiming to fend off competition from other suitors. The Gunners have made a significant offer to the Danish-Nigerian striker, including both a scholarship and a professional contract for the upcoming season, following his impressive performances for the U18s.
Obi-Martin’s recent displays have been particularly noteworthy, with standout performances including a seven-goal haul in a dominant 9-0 victory over Norwich. His remarkable goal-scoring record in the U18 Premier League this season has seen him break multiple records, surpassing both Rhys Murphy and Folarin Balogun in the process.
With 29 goals in 17 games, Obi-Martin has etched his name in Arsenal’s history books, setting new standards for goal-scoring excellence at the club’s youth level. As Arsenal prepares to face Chelsea in their next U18 Premier League fixture, Obi-Martin will have another opportunity to further solidify his status as a rising star in the football world.
