An Arsenal wonderkid has reportedly decided to join Premier League rivals Manchester United after turning down bigger offers from around Europe.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, 16-year-old Arsenal striker Chido Obi-Martin has accepted a proposal from the Red Devils. 

It was reported weeks ago that the teenage talent had been approached by the 20-time English champions, while there was also interest in his signature from Germany. 

Obi-Martin is believed to have been convinced by United's project and plan for him after he scored 32 goals in 26 matches for the Gunners' youth teams.  

The forward was born in Denmark, whom he has represented at both U16 and U17 level, although he also played for England's U16 side and is eligible for Nigeria. 

The move from United comes after INEOS' ownership group, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, appointed high-profile figures to run the club's footballing operation.
