Chidozie Obi has assured Arsenal fans of his commitment.

The teenage striker is months away from being eligible to sign pro forms.

He told Bold: "Maybe I will have to play permanently at U21 from next season. There aren't that many strikers in the squad so it will be a good opportunity for me. Arsenal is a club that gives young talents the opportunity to play.

"I have trained six times with the first team, so we (Mikel Arteta) have talked, but it has not been a big deal. He just praises me all the time and says nice things, so it's very nice.

"Of course it makes me proud."
