Chido Obi -Martin did not leave Arsenal for lack of money – it was rather the time for play, according to reports.
The youngster defected between the competitors of the Premier League last year, but that had nothing to do with the obtaining of a larger package of remuneration.
The Daily Mail reports that “the feeling he had a better shot to crack the first team”.
Now Arsenal has seen two of their promising young talents, Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven, go to Man United in a few months.
Obi has already made his senior debut for Manchester United, in a match against Tottenham, while Heaven was included on the bench for the last two games of United under Ruben Amorim.
What Fabrizio Romano said about the two starts for Arsenal
Despite the initial disappointment, Arsenal does not dwell on departures, according to Fabrizio Romano, the club made serious efforts to keep the two players, offering them competitive contracts, but finally respected their decisions to pass.
Writing for Givemesport, Romano explained: “Arsenal was disappointed when Chido Obi left in summer and Ayden Heaven followed in January, while they were trying to keep both and offered important contracts. But no one loses sleep.
“The club did everything they could, and ultimately, Arsenal always produces the best talents. Mikel Arteta trusts the long-term academy, as we see with Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly. »»
While Arsenal wanted to keep the two players, they were much less concerned with losing the sky compared to Obi.
