SPECULATION remains rife that Arsenal are in the hunt for Newcastle forward Obafemi Martins.

It is not the first time the Gunners have been linked with a move for the Nigerian international.

With Eduardo out for at least six months with a broken leg and top scorer Emmanuel Adebayor reportedly seeking more money elsewhere, Martins (pictured) may yet prove a viable option for Wenger.

Arsenal were interested in Martins during his time at Inter Milan, while there were also rumours of a bid last year, but no official bid was made.
