Wenger eyeing up Martial as Sanchez replacement

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is eyeing up a move for Manchester United winger Anthony Martial.

Wenger sees Martial as the idea man to replace Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to leave the club.

Sanchez’s contract with the club expires at the end of the season and a number of clubs are thought to be ready to pounce.

The forward looked set to leave in the summer but Arsenal forced him to stay, although they may be tempted to sell in January to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Sanchez is refusing to sign a new contract with the club, which opens the door for Wenger to scout replacements.

According to The Mirror, Martial is his main target. The report claims that Wenger believes Martial would be interested in the move.

The French winger has scored five goals and managed six assists in nine games for United this season, despite being a regular on the bench.
