Chido Obi-Martin, Arsenal’s youthful offensive prodigy, is almost signed by Manchester United. This week the Danish young international is supposed to get his physical at Old Trafford. Though he agreed to remain with Arsenal, Obi-Martin chose United for a better first-team route.
From FC Copenhagen, Obi-Martin joined Arsenal’s junior group for 2022. He has since shown great performance, scoring 32 goals in 18 Under-18 game. Particularly after a remarkable game in which he scored 10 goals against Liverpool U16s, his exploits attracted notice. From then, top teams—including Manchester United—have showed interest in him.
Arsenal Player Is Set For A Manchester United Move
Under their new part-owners, the Red Devils want to assemble the greatest young players, therefore preparing for long-term success. Obi-Martin’s circumstances at Arsenal made him a desirable target; United seemed to have drawn him to Old Trafford effectively.
After Obi-Martin accepted their significant offer, United has finalized their arrangement with him. Before signing his first professional deal with United on his 17th birthday, November 29th, he is scheduled to have physical this week. The team has been able to fend off notable rivalry for his signing. Obi-Martin thought United offered a better path to first-team play even though he had committed to fresh terms with Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta personally urged the sixteen-year-old to remain at Arsenal. The team was not ready to fast forward his elevation to the first team, however. On the other side, Ruud van Nistelrooy, United’s new assistant manager, was instrumental in getting the agreement. His talks with Obi-Martin persuaded the youthful striker to go to Manchester.
This trade emphasizes how competitive it is to attract fresh football players. Although Arsenal’s young growth is admirable, United’s capacity to provide a quicker first-team prospect turned out to be important. The choice made by Obi-Martin emphasizes the need of open routes in the development of a young athlete. Ultimately, United’s approach to draw in and combine outstanding talent appears to be working.

By grabbing a striker from Juventus, Arsenal has a great potential to relieve Bukayo Saka of some of his responsibilities. Once a top target for Jurgen Klopp, Federico Chiesa is now for sale for a meager £13 million. Renowned for his ability to find potential, Klopp sought to augment his strong three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino with Chiesa. Liverpool allegedly made an £86 million approach for Chiesa after his outstanding Euro 2020 performance, which Juventus turned down. Rather, Liverpool invested in Darwin Nunez as Chiesa’s career suffered from form problems and injuries.
Chiesa is now among eight players for sale named by Juventus’s new manager Thiago Motta. Studies indicate Chiesa’s price has decreased to just £13 million. This gives Arsenal a possible steal, like Leandro Trossard’s relocation to the Emirates. Originally thought of as a squad player, Trossard proved vital for Arsenal in the latter part of the 2023/24 season.
Klopp considered Chiesa to be an £86 million significant player. Today, Chiesa may provide Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the wings much-needed depth and rivalry from Arsenal. He might possibly be a substitute for Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus front-of-course. Chiesa’s adaptability makes him a great benefit to the Gunners.
