Arsenal are desperately trying to retain the services of their Danish youngster Chido Obi <\/span>Martin,<\/span> and hope to fight off interest from other clubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal Want Obi-Martin to Stay<\/span><\/h2>\n

An Improved Offer<\/span><\/h3>\n

According to <\/span>Fabrizio Romano<\/span><\/a>, Arsenal have presented an improved offer to convince Obi-Martin to continue his career at the club. An agreement is yet to be reached by both parties. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Dane <\/span>is expected<\/span> to make a decision with playing time in mind. H<\/span>e is also mulling over bids from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, <\/span>etc<\/span>. Previously, it was believed the youngster was close to quitting the Gunners due to lack of a clear pathway to the first team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta has been <\/span>key<\/span> to <\/span>Arsenal’s<\/span> decision to submit a new <\/span>offer<\/span> as he wants Obi-Martin to stay. So, it is safe to say the striker has the <\/span>full<\/span> confidence of his manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can Obi-Martin Break Into Arsenal First Team?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Obi-Martin might be too young to become a regular in the senior squad. But the domestic cup competitions provide a perfect platform for the 16-year-old to <\/span>get a taste of<\/span> first-team football. <\/span>Standing <\/span>at<\/span> 6′<\/span>2<\/span>“,<\/span> he is physically strong for a boy <\/span>of<\/span> his age and even <\/span>appeared for the Arsenal U21 team<\/span><\/a> in December 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is not much competition for the striker spot at Arsenal right now. Kai Havertz is the most reliable option, while Eddie Nketiah <\/span>is likely to<\/span> be sold this summer after continuing to underperform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabriel Jesus has been suffering from injuries and <\/span>when<\/span> fit<\/span> has <\/span>been forced<\/span> to play out of position on the wings.\u00a0 <\/span>So, if Obi-Martin can show some <\/span>patience<\/span> there is <\/span>a great<\/span> chance of him getting fast-tracked into the senior team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
