Some Clubs Follow Players, Others Buy Them - Martial's Agent Slams Wenger

 

Responding to Arsene Wenger’s comments that the Gunners did not buy Manchester United striker, Anthony Martial because he is more of a wide player, the France international's agent, Philippe Lamboley has labelled Arsenal as a club that follows players, but never signs them eventually.

 

"If the analysis of Wenger was to justify not having signed Anthony, then I accept his words and so he’s a winger. But in football there are those who follow players and those that buy them,” Lamboley told RMC radio station.

 

"When he goes wide and then comes central, it’s to pick up speed and get away from the centre-backs," he added.

 

Martial has made a storming start to his Man United career, scoring four times in four games, following his £36million transfer from Monaco this summer.
