He is also eligible to represent Nigeria through his father.<\/p>\n<p>The forward currently plays for Denmark, scoring last month in the Under-17 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. Though it is understood that the teenager, who was brought into first-team training sessions by Mikel Arteta earlier this month, can still switch allegiance back to this country if he wishes to.<\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport understands it is a route the FA are keen on looking at, having monitored his progress since last winter. He turns 16 next week.<\/p>\n<p>Obi-Martin\u2019s stunning performance on Saturday, in the Gunners\u2019 14-3 victory over the Reds, has thrust the 6ft 2in player into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/20\/22\/77966363-12772605-Arsenal_youngster_Chido_Obi_Martin_above_scored_10_goals_against-m-11_1700517863192.jpg\" height=\"383\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/20\/22\/77966367-12772605-Obi_Martin_posted_pictures_of_himself_on_his_Instagram_story_aft-a-12_1700517866800.jpg\" height=\"383\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal youngster Chido Obi-Martin (above) scored 10 goals against Liverpool&#8217;s youth team<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/18\/16\/77966403-12765471-image-m-77_1700325484540.jpg\" height=\"508\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ethan Nwaneri (pictured) became the Premier League&#8217;s youngest ever player last season, and Obi-Martin could break into Arsenal&#8217;s first-team soon if he keeps progressing\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite his age, he played for the Gunners\u2019 Under-21 side in October and Arteta has noticed his talents.
