Arsenal youngster Chido Obi-Martin will leave the club on a free transfer after failing to agree to a new contract, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 16-year-old striker has been a standout in academy football, attracting interest from a number of clubs.
Manchester United are reportedly leading the race for Obi-Martin’s signature, with Romano previously suggesting they’re confident of securing him.
This is a significant blow for Arsenal, who were hoping to retain one of their most promising talents.
With his contract expiring, Obi-Martin has explored options at various English and German clubs before making a decision.
While Obi-Martin wouldn’t break into Mikel Arteta’s first team immediately, his choice might be influenced by a club offering a clearer path to senior football.
While Manchester United seem like the favorites, Obi-Martin’s next destination remains unclear. One thing is certain: Arsenal fans won’t be happy to see him join a Premier League rival.
