Arsenal player visits Manchester United training ground as Newcastle United make contact over deal

The Gunners offered the 16-year-old new terms following the expiry of his schoolboy contract, however he has decided to pursue other opportunities.

The Athletic reports that Obi-Martin visited Man United’s training ground earlier this week with discussions at an early stages. Meanwhile, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Newcastle United, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Eintracht Frankfurt have also made contact.

Obi-Martin will be able to leave the Gunners come his 17th birthday on November 29.

He made headlines last season following an incredible goalscoring spree that included scoring 10 in a 14-3 win against Liverpool under-16. That led to more involvement with the under-18s in the second half of the campaign the player netted an incredible 32 goals in 18 matches.

Of those goals, 28 came in the remaining nine games, including five against West Ham United and seven versus Norwich City. He also netted four times against Crystal Palace and Fulham, and fired a hat-trick versus Chelsea.

Obi-Martin has represented both Denmark and England at youth international level. He is reportedly eligible to represent Nigeria through his father.

The forward played in Denmark’s 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification campaign, scoring twice in three group stage games, though it is understood that he can still switch allegiance back to England before her turns 18 - if he wishes to.
