The young man’s talent was located by a premises, who simply claimed Obi’s father, the prince, to examine formal formation for him when they returned to Denmark. Obi presented himself to a session with KB, which was very carefully offered the opportunity to step on his things.

Obi finally enrolled in Arsenal and lost very little time to know. He became the record scorer of the Gunners at the age of 18 when he was only 16 years old, with a transport of ten goals against Liverpool, seeing him viral on social networks.

The offer of professional terms was made, but Obi rejected the terms on the table, and instead trusted the route presented by UnitedFor those who scored 12 goals in nine games before delivering their first team debut.

Provided to 6’2, Obi stands out at the academy level due to his advanced physique. It is simply too big, too strong and too powerful for the level of youth and has made the players older than they are still growing in their frames.

“His greatest ability is to score many goals,” said Denmark Youth Director, Morten Eskesen Tipsbladet. “If you have seen some of the goals in the European Championship … it is a good finisher and positions himself so that he is free to do it.

As usual with players that advanced physicist helps them at the academy level, questions have been asked about how Obi will be adjusted once it is no longer an anomaly against senior professionals who can match their height and their power.

Although this will undoubtedly weaken an aspect of his game, there is a significant confidence that Obi has created a set of devastating skills that will continue to elevate it to the new heights of the senior party.

“I always thought,” He will be trapped at some point, “Nielsen continued.” But no. Has never been trapped in one -year groups. He has always scored goals. “

Aladeware also emphasized a “non -conventional” ball of balls “, but he concluded wisely:” If it is still over the corner of the network, then who does it care? “”

Obi is eligible to represent Denmark, Nigeria and England. He went out to the age of 16 in England in February 2023, shortly after his 15th anniversary, but has dedicated the vast majority of youth football in Denmark, and this position is unlikely to change.
