Willem II has reached an agreement with Manchester United for the loan transfer of striker Chido Obi. The eighteen-year-old Dane is considered a significant talent and has already played several matches in the Premier League.

The transfer comes just before the closing of the transfer window. Obi will be seen in the colors of Willem II this season, where he will have to compete with Devin Haen.

According to Voetbal International, the clubs have agreed on the loan deal, confirming Obi's arrival in Tilburg.

Obi is not only an asset for Willem II but also the youngest starting player in Manchester United's history in the Premier League. His loan is an opportunity for him to gain more playing time.
