Arsenal's Golden Eaglets prospect scores four goals
Posted : 03 August 2023
Chido Obi, Arsenal's talented Golden Eaglets-eligible striker, demonstrated his scoring prowess as he netted four goals for Denmark U17s in a commanding 6-2 victory against Norway during the Open Nordic Championship in Finland.
His impressive performance began with a skillful goal in the 19th minute, and he followed it up with a right-footed shot in the 31st minute.
Obi completed a hat-trick early in the second half with a well-executed header from a corner kick and added another goal in the 58th minute after capitalizing on a defensive mistake from Norway.
Being the youngest player in the Danish team for the tournament, Obi's remarkable display has put him in the spotlight, and he will have a chance to further enhance his tally as Denmark faces Faroe Highlands on Friday.
With Arsenal recognizing his potential, the 15-year-old has been offered a scholarship deal for the 2024-2025 season.
He already showcased his skills for the Gunners' U16s and made appearances in the U18 Premier League, notably in their 4-4 draw with West Brom and a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa.
The gifted forward holds dual eligibility, being able to represent either Nigeria, through his father, or England in his international career.
