Arsenal target Martinez ready to force way out of Ajax
Arsenal are seemingly underdogs in the battle to sign Martinez. He wants to join Manchester United. And their offer of £43 million is the higher one, it seems.
However, Martinez’s priority appears to be to move to the Premier League. So if Arsenal put forward a bid Ajax will accept, surely the 24-year-old will be more than happy to consider heading to the Emirates.
Obviously, Arsenal may have their reservations about paying £50 million. But clearly, they rate him highly and are prepared to offer a lot of money already.
So going towards a figure Ajax would accept is surely not beyond the Gunners right now. He is someone who can play in a number of positions. And he has an extremely high ceiling.
And it seems that he is ready to put pressure on Ajax by pushing for a move.
