Köln propose season-long deal for Man United’s Nigeria-eligible Chido Obi
German club FC Köln has submitted a season-long loan proposal for 18-year-old Manchester United academy striker Chido Obi, leaving the Premier League heavyweights to finalize the best developmental path for the teenage starlet.
Bundesliga side FC Köln has formalized its interest in Manchester United’s teenage sensation Chido Obi by submitting a season-long loan proposal ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The 18-year-old former Arsenal Academy forward, who enjoyed a prolific junior season across the Red Devils’ youth ranks, has emerged as a primary target for the German outfit.
Köln hopes to tempt the highly-rated striker with guaranteed, top-flight first-team minutes to accelerate his professional development.
Old Trafford chiefs are currently evaluating the proposal, as they weigh the benefits of a testing overseas loan against keeping the prolific forward within the club’s academy environment.
Having already experienced brief senior team exposure, the clinical Denmark youth international, who is also able to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria, is widely regarded as one of United’s brightest offensive prospects.
Management will make the definitive choice on whether the German switch aligns with his long-term career projection.
