Arsenal youth star scores 10 as Gunners hammer Liverpool

Arsenal fans are salivating at the prospect of another exciting talent from the club’s academy that could follow in the footsteps of current first-team stars like Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe. 

Danish youth international forward Obi-Martin has been on the lips of many Arsenal talent scouts and has already appeared for the U-18 and U-21 teams, but he made a huge statement as the Gunners’ U-16 team dismantled Liverpool in a 14-3 drubbing.

The youngster has demonstrated high levels of talent in recent months and has earned comparisons to Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen for his eye for goal and the physical nature of his overall game. 

Obi-Martins tipped for greatness

Obi-Martin has been on the fringes of the Arsenal first team as well, training with the senior team and earning praise from Gunners legend Ian Wright. 

The 15-year-old star in the making has represented Denmark and England at the U-16 level but appears to have pitched his international tent with the Danes, who have also capped him at the U-17 level. 

Given his name, Obi-Martin is eligible to play for Nigeria through his ancestry, but there have been no hints of him switching nationality at present.
