The 'special' Arsenal academy striker now starring at Man Utd

For a 17-year-old with no senior appearances to his name, there is already plenty of hype around Chido Obi.

On Wednesday, Arsenal fans on social media were lamenting the one that got away as soon as reports of Kai Havertz's potentially season-ending injury began to circulate.

Manchester United fans, meanwhile, are asking if the teenager - who has a record 41 goals at Premier League Under-18 level - could fill the gap left by Marcus Rashford.

"He would have been in the Arsenal first team if he had stayed," lamented an Arsenal YouTuber to his 22,800 followers on X.
