Sky Reporter confirms Man United set to sign Outstanding Arsenal striker who just arrived ‘In Manchester for Medical’
Manchester United close in on Arsenal’s Obi-Martin after agreeing personal terms.
Prior to moving to Old Trafford, Obi-Martin is having his medical examination.
Even though there was more money on offer in Germany, the young player opted to join United over Bundesliga clubs.
After reaching a personal terms agreement with the attacking genius, Chido Obi-Martin of Arsenal, Manchester United is getting closer to a major coup.
The star, who was born in Denmark, is allegedly having a medical on Tuesday in Manchester.
As one of the Gunners’ most highly-regarded young players over the previous two seasons, Obi-Martin has been on fire in the youth levels. As such, it seemed inevitable that he would eventually make appearances for the north London team in senior tournaments.
The report on X (formerly Twitter) states that Obi-Martin is currently in Manchester ahead of his medical with United.
Terms have been agreed with the star – who has been dubbed with having ‘insane pace’ – after he announced his departure from Arsenal in late July, and despite having offers from the Gunners and from Bundesliga clubs, the youngster will make the move to Old Trafford in a bid to continue his development at the highest order.
Sheth states that the clubs in Germany offered Obi-Martin superior terms to United, with Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt previously being linked – but the Danish youth international has chosen the Red Devils and fans will be hopeful that he can get off to a flying start in their youth ranks before making an impact in the first-team later down the line.
United already have two young strikers in their senior ranks in Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, with the Dane scoring 10 goals in his inaugural Premier League campaign last season after a move from Italian side Atalanta – whilst Zirkzee joined earlier in the summer from Bologna with vast promise after making the Netherlands’ EURO 2024 squad.
Martin is some way behind them at present given that he is just 16, but there is certainly scope for him to impress and make their attacking talents into a trio in the coming years
