Two European clubs are interested in signing Arsenal youth team striker of Nigerian descent Chidozie Obi-Martin.

Everyone is talking about his potential after he scored ten goals in Arsenal U16s 14-3 win over Liverpool at the weekend.

According to Arsenal youth team expert Jeorge Bird, German Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund and Belgian Jupiler Pro League team Anderlecht are monitoring the progress of the Denmark U17 international of Nigerian descent.

Obi turns 16 in nine days time, meaning the Danish-born teenager can join a club based in the European Union as from the January transfer window. 

However, Arsenal have no worries over the future of Obi-Martin, given that the center forward has already agreed a scholarship deal with the north London club for the 2024-2025 season.

Arsenal saw off competition from London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to sign him on a schoolboy deal which concludes in June 2024.

In the summer window, Anderlecht added English-Nigerian player Tudor Mendel-Idowu to their youth team ranks, beating Barcelona to his signature after the talented winger turned down a new deal at Chelsea.
 

Obi-Martin has trained with Arsenal's first team this season and debuted for the U19s and development squad in the UEFA Youth League and Premier League 2 respectively.
