Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Chido Obi-Martin, here’s how lethal a goalscorer he really is.

It’s a sign of the incredible work by Ineos that the widely considered biggest talent in the country looks set to join Manchester United.

This is the case with Chido Obi-Martin who is now confirmed to have departed Arsenal as he sent a farewell message on Monday.

United are considered the clear favourites to have signed him, and an announcement could be made at any point. Fabrizio Romano claims Obi-Martin has accepted United’s offer.

But just how good is Chido Obi-Martin, and how many goals has he scored for club and country in his career to date?

How many goals has Chido Obi-Martin scored for Arsenal

If Chido Obi does arrive at United this summer, it could end up being the signing of the window for the Red Devils.

His absolute excellence for Arsenal’s academy in goal scoring tells the entire story of just how brilliant he is.

Chido Obi’s scoring record for Arsenal

This record is immense, averaging a goal or assists every 47.8 minutes that he’s on the pitch (1.8 goal contributions per 90), which is remarkable when it’s considered he’s only 16.

Turning 17 in November, if Chido Obi does arrive we imagine he’ll be thrown into the U18s to begin with, but if he does carry his scoring over he could very quickly be a U21 and then knocking on the door of the first team.

To prove his lethality isn’t a fluke only applicable at Arsenal, Chido Obi’s international record is also incredible and proves he could be a world-leading talent.

For Denmark’s youth ranks he has been unstoppable, while his time as an England U16 wasn’t quite as impactful.

With Chido Obi idolizing Rasmus Hojlund, there could be a scenario where United end up in possession of the entire Danish attacking department, and both have the tools to be world-class.

How Chido Obi’s record compares to Ethan Wheatley and Gabriele Biancheri

If Chido Obi does arrive, he’ll be joining a talented striker department in the academy right now with both Ethan Wheatley and Gabriele Biancheri shining right now, but how do their records compare with Chido Obi?

Wheatley’s record sees him scoring 13 goals in 24 games as a U18 Premier League player, which already gives Chido Obi the advantage in terms of club football. Wheatley also has three goals in two caps for England’s U18 side.

Biancheri’s record is almost identical with 13 U18 Premier League goals in 23 games, while he has one goal for Wales’ U19s in two caps.

From looking at the records of these two, Chido Obi is quite clearly the most exciting prospect and the highest-scoring too. This shows he’d be a huge addition to the academy and if he can reach the levels we know he’s capable of then he’d very quickly be overtaking the other two in the pecking order.
