Denmark U18 coach Morten Eksen has confirmed that they are closely tracking Manchester United’s rising star Chido Obi-Martin.
Since joining United from Arsenal earlier this season, the 16-year-old forward has impressed but is yet to play a full 90 minutes.
Eksen highlighted the Danish U18 team’s collaboration with United to monitor Obi-Martin’s fitness and match data, adding that the young forward is eager to take on the challenge of a full match soon.
“He has not yet played 90 minutes, but he is close, and we are in close cooperation with United in relation to having all his physical data sent over, and looking at how he has played. “He wants to be able to go 90 minutes now. That’s his next step and he might do it for us in the next few games,” Eksen stated.
Obi-Martin, who will turn 17 later this month, has already made an impact in the U18 Premier League with four goals and one assist in four appearances, despite not yet completing a full game.
With Nigerian heritage, Obi-Martin’s talent is drawing attention from both the Danish and international football communities. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has to act swiftly to secure the allegiance of the Manchester United forward.
