Bayern Munich are reportedly progressing in discussions to land young Arsenal prodigy Chido Obi-Martin after the 16-year-old rejected a scholarship renewal offer.
The Dane netted an incredible 32 goals in 18 Premier League 2 games in the academy this season and has already clocked 10 goals in 14 under-17 Denmark caps. Obi-Martin has been in incredible form since March, which has attracted interest from afar.
The forward scored in each of his final nine league games this term, netting seven times in a 9-0 thrashing of Norwich City in April. That was the fifth time he had scored four or more goals in a single match this term.
Martin-Obi scored twice at the Under-17 European Championships over the past month as Denmark made the sem-finals and so, with international games included, he has recorded 43 goals in 42 outings.
The Academy Scoop claims that Bayern have taken advantage of a breakdown in talks between Arsenal and the player, and are advancing in talks to land the teenage sensation. It postulates that Borussia Dortmund are also keen on his signature.
