Arsenal concerned as Chidozie Obi-Martin contacted by BVB and Ajax

Arsenal are concerned over the future of Chidozie Obi-Martin.

The 16 year-old remains on amateur forms and cannot sign pro terms until he turns 17 years of age.

Bold says the Gunners are increasingly nervous as Obi-Martin's profile grows across Europe.

Indeed, both Ajax and Borussia Dortmund are in contact with the player's camp, assuring them they'd love to ferry the Dane away from London as soon as they can.

In November, he really grabbed the headlines when he scored no fewer than ten goals in a sensational 14-3 win over Liverpool's U16s.

Arsenal have currently promoted Obi-Martin permanently to the club's U18 team, but the plan is for him to play more and more often in the club's U21 team.
