Famous Italian soccer journalist Romano recently reported that Arsenal FC believes that its youthful youngster, Chito
Obi Martin
has decided to leave the team. The 16-year-old striker joined Arsenal from the Copenhagen ladder in 2022 and his apprenticeship contract has now expired. Despite being offered a lucrative new contract by Arsenal, Obi Martin seems to have made the decision to leave.
Romano took to social media to reveal that Obi Martin has visited Manchester United's training base over the past period of time, suggesting that United have a keen interest in the youngster. Apart from Manchester United, a number of other big European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Newcastle, Monaco and Eintracht Frankfurt have been in touch with Obi Martin's agent, suggesting that they are also keeping a close eye on the potential starlet's future moves.
Obi Martin will reportedly make a decision on his next stop soon. It is worth noting that Manchester City are not currently in the hunt for Obi Martin, despite interest from several clubs.
Arsenal are disappointed with the departure of Obi Martin as he was seen as a young player with great potential. However, the world of soccer is highly competitive and players' career choices are often influenced by a number of factors. For Arsenal, they may need to continue to look for and develop new young talent to keep the team competitive. As for Obi Martin, this transfer will be a major turning point in his career, and he will have the opportunity to showcase his talents on a bigger stage.
