Premier League table-toppers Arsenal risk losing one of their most promising academy graduates, Chido Obi-Martin. The Nigerian-Danish sensation has piqued the interest of European powerhouses, with Bayern Munich emerging as a possible summer destination for the youngster.
Obi-Martins impresses for Arsenal, attracting Bayern Munich interest
Despite being just 16 years old, Obi-Martin has already demonstrated his enormous potential on the pitch.

Despite Arsenal's efforts to ensure Obi-Martin's future with the club, conversations with the teenager's representation are still ongoing. Bayern Munich has emerged as a strong suitor, putting additional pressure on Arsenal to ward off competition and retain their greatest asset.
How Brexit could force Obi-Martins out of Arsenal’s hands
With the post-Brexit scene changing the way Premier League academy talent talents progress through the ranks, Arsenal could fall victim to youngsters’ thirst for game time as soon as possible as seen with players like Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Jadon Sancho, who moved from Manchester City’s academy to Borussia Dortmund.

With EU passports providing access to clubs within the European Union, talented prospects like Obi-Martin, who has a Danish passport, have become valuable commodities for European clubs. The potential of professional contracts and early first-team opportunities abroad is an appealing proposition for young players, and could see the young Gunner consider a move to Germany this summer. .
