Nigerian wonderkid completes move to Manchester United after leaving Arsenal
Published: September 27, 2024Danish-born Nigerian wonderkid, Chido Obi-Martin has completed his move to Premier League giants Manchester United after leaving Arsenal in the summer.
According to Manchester United youth team guru, Academy Scoop, the dual-national center forward can now be considered a Manchester United player.
The Red Devils received formal communication from the Premier League that their prolonged ratification process for the transfer of former Arsenal starlet Chido Obi-Martin has been completed.
Obi-Martin already passed a routine medical examination and put pen to paper on a contract before the Premier League's five-step review was concluded on Friday morning.
The five-step review is a process of investigation conducted before registering any academy player.
Arsenal did everything in their power to retain the services of Obi-Martin, offering him a scholarship deal and then a professional contract, but Obi-Martin opted to embark on a new chapter in his career.
The Denmark U18 international has joined Manchester United on a scholarship deal and will sign professional forms on his 17th birthday in November 2024.
United have pulled off a massive transfer coup by bringing Obi-Martin to the club, fending off competition from the likes of Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and Newcastle United.
Besides Arsenal, another top-six Premier League club showed interest in Obi-Martin but he favored a switch to Manchester United.
Obi-Martin made a splash in last season's U18 Premier League, scoring 32 goals in 18 games and broke a club record for the most goals scored by an Arsenal U18 player in a single season.
