Arsenal youngster Chido Obi-Martin kept up his remarkable scoring run for the Gunners' Under-19s with seven goals in a 9-0 win against Norwich. 

Chido Obi-Martin, 16, took his tally for the Arsenal youngsters to 29, eclipsing the single-season record held by Folarin Balogun.

The forward's startling display included a 17-minute hat-trick and came only two weeks after he had scored five in a win against West Ham. 

The teenager has already played for Arsenal at Under-21 level and has even dropped down to the Under-16s earlier in the season when he netted 10 times in a 14-3 win against Liverpool. 

Obi-Martin watched fellow Arsenal academy player Ethan Nwaneri become the youngest ever Premier League player when he was handed his debut last season in a 3-0 win against Brentford at the age of 15 years, five months and 28 days.

He may not have been able to beat that record, but will hope to follow in Nwaneri's footsteps by breaking into Mikel Arteta's squad.

If he can produce more performances like he did on Saturday, a call up to senior side may not be too far away.

Obi-Martin is eligible for Denmark and England, having represented both countries at youth level.

After playing for the Under-16s of the two nations, he has only featured for Denmark's Under-17s. He scored in the Under-17 UEFA European Championship qualifiers for the Danes in October. 

It is understood that the teenager, who was brought into first-team training sessions by Mikel Arteta earlier in November, can still switch allegiance back to this country if he wishes to.

Mail Sport understands it is a route the FA are keen on looking at, having monitored his progress.

Obi-Martin was not the only standout performer for Arsenal on Saturday, as midfielder Andre Annous played provider and got on the scoresheet, while Dan Casey grabbed a ninth for Jack Wilshere's side.
