MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly trying to poach teen sensation Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal.
The promising striker is viewed as one of the brightest talents in England.
GettyThe 16-year-old caught the attention after he scored TEN goals in a single youth game against Liverpool last season.
But The Athletic now report Obi-Martin could be on his way out of Arsenal in a huge blow to the Gunners.
It is claimed that the young attacker has rejected a contract last season’s Premier League runners up thought was “fair”.
And Man Utd are now ready to pounce with the Red Devils “exploring” a deal for the wonderkid following the expiry of his schoolboy terms in North London.
Obi-Martin will be able to cut ties with Arsenal once he reaches his 17th birthday, on November 29.
However, United are not the only club interested in a swoop for the highly-rating starlet.
But the report insists neighbours Manchester City are NOT among the chasing pack.
The striker joined other Gunners back in 2022 after playing for Danish side KB.
