Manchester United are pushing to make it a busy few weeks in the transfer market, with talks for Arsenal starlet Chido Obi-Martin entering an ‘advanced’ stage and a host more targets shortlisted, according to reports.
Obi-Martin is a 16-year-old centre-forward who has made a name for himself as one of the best players in the Arsenal academy. His record for Arsenal U18s stands at a devastating 32 goals in just 21 appearances, which has impressed not only Gunners coaches but also scouts from other clubs.
The Denmark youth international has been weighing up whether to pen a professional contract with Arsenal or join a new club that might offer him a better pathway to first-team football.
The fact Obi-Martin is considering a transfer away from Arsenal is music to the ears of Man Utd, who have moved in quickly to try and destroy the Gunners’ offer.
