Chido Obi Martin

Manchester United has officially completed the signing of 16-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal after receiving Premier League approval. Obi-Martin, who dazzled with 32 goals in 18 matches for Arsenal's U18 team last season, had to undergo a detailed five-step review process before the transfer could be finalized. Despite interest from clubs like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Obi-Martin chose United, citing the club's ongoing project as a key factor in his decision. He will be given time to reach full fitness after missing the pre-season schedule. The dual-national player, eligible to represent Nigeria and England, is set to sign professional forms on his 17th birthday in November 2024. His impressive track record includes scoring 10 goals in a single match against Liverpool and a remarkable display in the U18 Premier League.
