Arsenal to keep Obi
Manager Mikel Arteta is keen to reward Obi's impressive performances with a spot in the first-team setup, and the parties involved are expected to reach an agreement in the coming months.
The 16-year-old has already been training with Arsenal's senior squad and is said to be keen on remaining at the Emirates Stadium with a view to being promoted to the under-21s.

Obi's talent was on full display earlier this season when he netted 10 goals as Arsenal thrashed Liverpool 14-3 in a youth fixture.
This move to tie down the promising youngster is the latest sign of Arsenal's commitment to developing homegrown talent as Arteta looks to build a squad capable of challenging for top honours at the Emirates.

With Obi's eligibility for the Super Eagles, this could also be a significant coup for the North London club and there will be interest from Nigerians, who will be keen to monitor the progress of the youngster.
