Koby Owusu Arthur (born 31 January 1996) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays for Championship club Birmingham City. A midfielder who can also play as a forward, he made his Football League debut in April 2013. He has spent time on loan at Conference Premier club Lincoln City and in two spells with League Two club Cheltenham Town, for whom he scored his first senior goal.
Arthur was born in Kumasi, Ghana. After moving to England he joined the youth system of Southern League club Woodford United, where he was noticed by a Birmingham City scout in 2012. The 16-year-old Arthur moved into the football and education development programme run by Birmingham City's community department, and was soon recruited into the club's main development system. He played for the club's under-18 team, and made his reserve team debut in February 2013 in a 2–1 Birmingham Senior Cup defeat to Stourbridge. Development squad coach Richard Beale described his performance as excellent: "He won his headers and tackles and he got the ball down and tried to pass it and he can be very pleased with the way he played." A few days later, he produced another good performance on his first Professional Development League appearance.
