Report: Chelsea join race for Anthony Martial

Chelsea have reportedly become the latest club to show an interest in signing outcast forward Anthony Martial from Manchester United.

The France international is said to be seeking a move away from Old Trafford during the summer window after starting fewer than half of the Red Devils’ league fixtures this term.

Martial has already been touted as a target for Arsenal and Juventus, while The Telegraph suggests that Chelsea are now also in the running to sign the 22-year-old.

Blues chiefs have already made contact with United to discuss whether the former Monaco ace is available to purchase, it is claimed, but Jose Mourinho would rather sell to a foreign club.

Even if Chelsea persuade their rivals to sell the French attacker, however, they will first have to offload a couple of players to fund the move.
