Denmark Coach Tips Arsenal’s Obi-Martin as Key Player for U17 EURO

Denmark’s U17 national team coach, Jesper Mikkelsen, anticipates Arsenal’s young striker Chido Obi-Martin to draw significant attention at the upcoming 2024 European U17 Championship in Cyprus. With an impressive tally of 29 goals in the U18 Premier League this season, Obi-Martin’s scoring prowess has elevated him to a marked player status, as observed in recent matches against top rivals like Tottenham Hotspur. Mikkelsen emphasizes the need to capitalize on Obi-Martin’s presence to create space for other talented offensive players. Despite Obi-Martin’s individual achievements, Denmark’s squad boasts a depth of scoring options. As Obi-Martin aims for success on the international stage, he follows in the footsteps of Nigerian-descent players like Victor Moses and Dominic Solanke, who have claimed the tournament’s Golden Boot in previous years.
