Coach advises Man Utd on what to anticipate from new signing Chido Obi-Martin of Arsenal.
Last season, Chido Obi-Martin had an incredible performance for Arsenal's Under-18s, scoring an impressive 32 goals in just 18 games. His talent did not go unnoticed, as he caught the eye of many top clubs in Europe. One of those clubs was Manchester United, who were able to secure the young striker's signature.

Denmark's Under-18 head coach, Morten Eskesen, believes that Manchester United is getting a "really good finisher" in Obi-Martin. At just 16 years old, he has already established himself as one of the best young strikers in Europe. His goal-scoring abilities were on full display last season, including a remarkable 10 goals in one match against Liverpool.

Although Arsenal tried to convince Obi-Martin to stay with the club, he ultimately decided to join Manchester United. He is expected to sign a professional contract with the club when he turns 17 in November. It was reported that Bayern Munich also showed strong interest in him, but it was Ruud van Nistelrooy's influence that played a crucial role in convincing him to make the move to Old Trafford.

Speaking highly of the young forward, Eskesen said, "His greatest competence is that he scores many goals. If you saw some of his goals at the European Championships, you can see that he is a really good finisher and knows how to position himself to get free for those opportunities." He also praised Obi-Martin's ability to take on defenders one-on-one and make runs into open spaces.

Obi-Martin's transfer to Manchester United has now been finalized, and he has officially left Arsenal. The 16-year-old is currently preparing to play for Denmark's Under-18 team in a mini-tournament in Sweden. Despite not having a club at the moment, Eskesen assures that Obi-Martin is fully focused and ready for the upcoming competition.

"I spoke to him last week and asked if he was fit and injury-free. He was, and he is currently without a club, but that will change soon. We know what he is capable of, and he proved it during the European Championship. I'm sure a player with his talent will have no trouble finding a club, it's just a matter of choosing the right one," Eskesen said.

Obi-Martin's move to Manchester United has caused quite a stir in the transfer market, with many clubs vying for his signature. It is a testament to his talent and potential, and Eskesen is confident that he will have a successful career ahead of him. As for Arsenal, they will have to move on without their young star, but they can take solace in the fact that they were able to develop such a promising player.
