Is Borussia Dortmund poaching on the island again? In search of new talent, BVB is said to have turned its attention to England. Apparently the 16-year-old Dane Chidozie Obi-Martin has made it into the sights of the Bundesliga club.
Arsenal FC fears losing youngster Chidozie Obi-Martin to the competition. This is what “bold.dk” from Denmark wants to know. Accordingly, BVB and the Dutch top club Ajax Amsterdam are particularly targeting the striker.
Problem for the Gunners: In England, players can only receive a contract without a salary cap from their 17th birthday, but in Germany and other countries this is possible from their 16th or even 15th birthday, according to “bold.dk”. Also bitter: the only compensation that would be due is training compensation.
It is said that Arsenal FC is justifiably “feared” that a competitor from abroad will turn the talent’s head with a well-paid offer.
BVB should plan a “lucrative offer”.
Borussia Dortmund is said to have such a “lucrative package” up its sleeve when it comes to wooing the Danish U17 international.
However, Arsenal FC should not see themselves without a chance in the fight for Obi-Martin. Instead of the immediate big money, the hopefuls in London are lured by offering them good prospects.
The Dane is training more and more often with the professionals, and even a debut in the Premier League should be within the realm of possibility during the course of the season, according to the report. In addition, the goalscorer will increasingly appear for the club’s U21s in the future.
In the 2023/24 season, “Chido” has appeared six times for the club’s U18s (3 goals/2 assists), as well as three times in the Youth League and twice for the U21s.
The Danish U17 team also scored seven goals in nine games.
