Manchester United are in talks to sign prolific wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin who is all set to leave Arsenal, according to reports.
Obi-Martin made headlines last season thanks to an incredible goalscoring spree, that included scoring 10 in a 14-3 win against Liverpool U16s.
The 16-year-old would go into find the back of the net 32 times in just 20 league games for Arsenal U18s.
Eligible to play for England and Denmark, he has also scored 10 goals in 14 caps for the Danish U17s and last month was named in the Team of the Tournament for the European U17 Championships.
Naturally, there has been considerable interest in the teenage striker, with Bayern Munich attempting to pinch him from Colney.
For months, the Gunners have been trying to persuade Obi-Martin to stay in North London, with his next deal to be a scholarship before he is eligible to sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday in November.
But The Athletic report that while Arsenal have made ‘what they felt was a fair offer’ to the forward, he has decided his future lays elsewhere and will move on this summer.
There are plenty of clubs keen on acquiring his services, with United named as one, though local rivals Manchester City are not.
