Martins open to Arsenal move

Obafemi Martins has admitted he would be interested in making a move to Arsenal. The Newcastle frontman has been heavily linked with a departure away from St. James' Park.

"Arsenal is a big club that everyone wants to play for. I am thrilled and it will be nice to play for such a team," Martins told The Sun. "But now that I am a Newcastle player, there is nothing much to say.

“If it is true, both clubs would have to reach an agreement. Is Arsenal a good club? Yes. Would I love to play there? Probably, if Newcastle are ready to listen to them.

“But if Newcastle says no then it'll be no. Because I still have a contract, I expect the club to speak to me when I get back. I am not saying I want to go but, if anything happens, that's football."
