Man Utd star says player Arsenal let go could soon become ‘one of the best’ in the world

Arsenal allowed a number of talented players to leave the Emirates Stadium in 2024.

Mikel Arteta sanctioned exits for Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah – who joined Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively – while Mika Biereth was also allowed to go, a player who is now shining at Monaco.

Furthermore, Nuno Tavares is impressing at Lazio – after Arsenal let t🌺he Portuguese defender move on loan with an obligation for the Italian g🅰iants to buy him permanently.

Elsewhere, Chido Obi was allowed to join Manchester United on a free transfer in October after Arsenal refused to meet the 17-year-old’s wage demands, and Leny Yoro has now made a big claim about the💮 teenager striker.

Leny Yoro backs Chido Obi to become one of the best players on the planet

The Frenchm🐠an – who joined Manchester United in a £52m move from Lille back in Ju꧑ly – is a huge fan of Obi.

Yoro told : “Chido is talented. He can become one of ꦆthe world’s best strikers in my opinion, if he continues his development. He scores a lot of goals and is a good boy, so I also hope that he will become one of the best.

“He has had his chance in a few games, and I of course hope that he wꦚill soon open his goal account in the first༺ team. That will help the team.”

Obi – who Bayern Munich also wanted – remarkably scored 32 goals in just 21🍨 games for the Ars♎enal U18 side before his move to Old Trafford, where he has continued his fine form with 12 goals in nine appearances for the U18s.

Ruben Amorim has since handed the Danish striker four senior appearances, suggesting he is very much on the cusp of becoming a first-team regular if he can replicate his efforts in the aca𒁏demy.

Manchester United want to take another wonderkid from Arsenal

Obi is not the only prodigy from Hale End who Man🌃chest𓆏er United like.

TBR Football understand Manchester United also admire Max Dowman – as do Barcelona.

The 15-year-old is already part of first-team tr🔯aining under Arteta at London Colney, and is a regular for the England U17 side despite only turning 15 in December.

If Arsenal lose Dowman – after alreaꩲdy losing Obi to a Pr🔴emier League rival – questions will surely start to be asked.
