Mikel Arteta revealed ahead of the international break that he would be having a few days off in London, rather than jetting off on holiday around the world. After all, there are still some Arsenal players to work with on the training ground at London Colney - and one youngster who has put in a stunning performance is Chido Obi-Martin.
The Gunners boss will be certainly have taken interest in the 15-year-old, who put up remarkable numbers in the club's Under-16s clash against Liverpool this week. Arsenal came out 14-3 winners (yes, 14) against the Reds, with the young star in question scoring 10 goals.
Obi-Martin has featured mainly at Under-18s level for the Gunners this season with four appearances so far, including a hat-trick in a 4-0 win against Southampton.
He has also represented the Gunners in the UEFA Youth League in both of the clashes against Sevilla, as well as making a substitute appearance in the Premier League 2.
The Danish youngster was born in 2007 in Glostrup on the outskirts of Copenhagen, and moved to the UK as a teenager. He has played for both England and Denmark's national teams at youth level - and is also eligible to represent Nigeria. But it looks more likely to be Denmark currently, with him recently scoring seven goals in nine games for their Under-17s, including four in a 6-2 win against Norway.

The young star's coach at international level Jesper Mikkelsen spoke to Bold (via Tribal Football) about the Arsenal attacker's best qualities, offering an exciting view on the 15-year-old's promise.
"Right now he is really dominant because of his physique, but I don't think that is the only reason," Mikkelsen said. "His greatest characteristic and challenge is that he really wants to score goals.
"When I say it can also be a disadvantage, I mean that he can sometimes play his own game. He is very searching for chances, where he forgets that you also have to play with the others."
Whether Obi-Martin chooses to stick with Denmark, or switch to England or Nigeria, his latest exploits will only fuel the fire on his promise for the future. Gunners icon Ian Wright recently picked the attacker out as one to watch, stating: "Chido Obi-Martin, he’s 15, honestly, he’s like 6 foot 2, he looks really quick."
It may be too early for Obi-Martin to realistically consider representing Arsenal's first team on a regular basis, but Arteta has already shown he will place faith in young talent with Ethan Nwaneri making his Gunners debut at the age of 15 last season.
