Martin leaves door open for Arsenal move

Arsenal target Marvin Martin has hinted he could still move to the Premier League in the near future, despite signing a contract extension with Sochaux.

The 23-year-old was tracked by Arsene Wenger this summer, and even had a bid for the Frenchman as he tried to replace Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas.

But a deal with the Gunners fell through when Martin signed a deal keeping him at the Ligue 1 side until 2015.

However, he has now revealed there is a get-out clause in his contract  which would allow him to move on next summer, opening the door to renewed interest from Arsenal.

He told L’Equipe: ‘We had good talk and we found an agreement.’

‘The officials made a promise. Indeed, an agreement to let me leave. I will remain at Sochaux until the end of the season.’
