Arsenal have done very well to produce top talents in recent years, with a number of Gunners academy graduates going on to great things.
Bukayo Saka has gone from Hale End to the very top of the game, and the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson are also impressing at Arsenal.
And there are yet more top talents moving up the ranks who look set for bright futures in the game, such as Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.
Another player Arsenal fans should keep an eye on is Chido Obi-Martin, a player who’s apparently on the radar of Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.
At just 16 years of age, the Danish forward has been making headlines for some outstanding goalscoring exploits this season.
Arsenal gem Chido Obi-Martin deemed one of London’s best youngsters
Obi-Martin scored 10 goals for Arsenal’s Under-16s in a 14-3 rout of their Liverpool counterparts earlier this season.
And just last week, the youngster scored four goals for Arsenal‘s U18s in their 8-3 hammering of Crystal Palace in the U18s Premier League.
Obi-Martin’s heroics have seen him make the Evening Standard‘s list of the top 50 youngsters playing for London club academies.
He made the Arsenal list alongside Amario Cozier-Duberry, Lewis-Skelly, Ayden Heaven, Josh Nichols, Nwaneri and Max Dowman.
‘Went viral in November after scoring 10 goals as Arsenal Under-16s beat Liverpool 14-3,’ they wrote.
‘Already more than 6ft tall, he is a striker from Denmark who has caught the eye with his physique, pace and finishing ability.
‘Big European clubs are already tracking him, including Ajax and Borussia Dortmund.’
Obi-Martin looks like he has a bright career ahead of him, but Arsenal need to be mindful of interest from Europe as clubs circle for his signature.
The Gunners will need to convince him of their pathway to the senior team and hopefully ward off the likes of Dortmund and Ajax, who’ll no doubt try to offer him a swifter pathway to first-team football.
