Essays are my thing
Highlights:
Obi Martin is an xG monster but really needs to learn to use his teammates in the box

I know his goal tally is impressive, but what is his play style?
It's very early and he's nowhere near being developed as a player, but does anyone have an idea of what kind of striker he is right now? What are his traits? Does he drift wide and cut in... Is he a mini Haaland "hunting for goals" kind of striker?
What is his play style that is making him so dominant in youth football?

What is his play style that is making him so dominant in youth football?
The player I would say he is most similar to is Isak. He drifts wide a lot and is a very good dribbler. Part of the reason , he is very dominant is that he is an elite ball striker. He knows how to place his shorts low and hard into the corner , and when needed he can strike the top corner. Secondly , he is very composed in the box and in one on ones. Lastly , and most importantly he is very 'selfish' the kind of you need from your striker. As suggested, he needs to improve finding his teammates, His Denmark coach even mentioned it . However the reason , he scores often is because anywhere In or just outside the box , he'll back himself and shoot .. hence why if you watch his highlights , he scores 5 but has probably tested the keeper 10 times. His linkup play is also very good. IMO he's the best striker talent that has come out of Hale End and I've watched the youth teams since the Lupoli Bendtner days.
Appreciate the breakdown mate
I'll add that while his link up play and passing is still an area that needs time to develop, he's still pretty good at it and has shown he's adept in the middle 3rd so that also gives good promise.
