Anthony Martial has been drawing comparisons to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry ever since he burst onto the Premier League scene with a coolly taken finish against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

And whilst Manchester United are yet to see a full return on their £50m investment, it's difficult to shrug the nagging sense that his future under Jose Mourinho isn't completely secure.

The Frenchman is nominally a centre-forward but has spent most of his career with the Red Devils playing from the flank. And the arrival of Romelu Lukaku this summer will do little to change that.

Wenger - with the promise of a starting centre-forward spot - could easily turn his fellow countrymen's head. The Gunners' front-line has, admittedly, already been bolstered this season by the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette, but Martial's potential would warrant dipping into the market again.
