Obi-Martin, 15, stole the show for the Arsenal U-16s as he helped himself to goals in the 14-3 win over the Reds.

The striker is expected to become a future star, and this was the case even before his stunning display.

The Standard have claimed that he has already agreed to a scholarship deal with Arsenal.

The report has suggested that this has been the case since last year.

It goes on to say that he will be one of the Gunners’ scholars for the 2024/25 season.

Obi-Martin will be able to sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday which is November next year.

Clubs are desperate to tie their young talents down to scholarship deals.

This is because if the players swap clubs then they are able to get compensation for the development costs.

Obi-Martin has already featured for Arsenal’s Under 21s and even scored a hat-trick against Southampton for the club’s Under 18s.

The youngster is already 6ft tall and has plenty of pace which is one reason behind his calls for the higher age groups.

He played in the match against Liverpool due to there being fewer games during the international break.

He has even had a taste of Mikel Arteta‘s standards in the first-team after he was allowed to join them in training.
