Chido Obi nears loan move to Bundesliga club FC Köln from Man United
Summary

Chido Obi is reportedly set to join FC Köln on a season-long loan from Manchester United for the 2026-27 campaign. After a successful 2025-26 season in academy football, where he scored nine goals in Premier League 2 and performed well in other competitions, United believes a loan is the next step in his development. Despite previously making seven senior appearances in 2024-25, the club opted to keep him in youth football to aid his growth. If the loan goes well, Obi could return as a more complete player prepared to compete for a first-team spot next season.
