Saturday, September 28, 2024 – Danish wonderkid, Chido Obi-Martin has completed his move to Premier League giants Manchester United after leaving Arsenal in the summer.
Obi-Martin made a splash in last season's U18 Premier
League, scoring 32 goals in 18 games and breaking a club record for the most
goals scored by an Arsenal U18 player in a single season. In one game against
Liverpool, he scored 10 goals.
According to Manchester United youth team guru, Academy
Scoop, the dual-national striker can now be considered a Manchester United
player.
The Red Devils on Friday, September 27 received formal
communication from the Premier League that their prolonged ratification process
for the transfer of former Arsenal starlet Chido Obi-Martin has been completed.
Obi-Martin already passed a routine medical examination and
put pen to paper on a contract before the Premier League's five-step review was
concluded on Friday morning.
The five-step review is a process of investigation conducted
before registering any academy player. Arsenal tried their best to retain the
services of Obi-Martin, offering him a scholarship deal and then a professional
contract, but Obi-Martin opted to embark on a new chapter in his career.
The Denmark U18 international, who can represent Nigeria or
England has joined Manchester United on a scholarship deal and will sign
professional forms on his 17th birthday in November 2024.
United have pulled off a massive transfer coup by bringing
Obi-Martin to the club, fending off competition from the likes of Bayern
Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and Newcastle United.
