Arsenal to target Anthony Martial if they miss out on Kylian Mbappe

The Gunners have made their mind upon which player to target if they miss out on their primary target - Kylian Mbappe. The Arsenal board believe that a £40 million bid will be enough to price Anthony Martial away from Manchester United.

Daily Mail understands that all is not well between Martial and Jose Mourinho with the player wanting assurances over his game time. Arsene Wenger is a huge admirer of the Frenchman and can offer him a striker's role at Arsenal.

Manchester City to sign four fullbacks this summer

Pep Guardiola is reportedly not happy with any of the fullbacks at his disposal at Manchester City and has therefore decided to conduct a major defensive overhaul this summer.

Daily Star claims that Dani Alves, Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Ryan Bertrand are the four names who are expected to be City players come the start of the next season. This means that Pep Guardiola is ready to splash close to £100 million on just fullbacks.
