A report claims that Portuguese forward Gelson Martins could be offered a route out of Atletico Madrid by Arsenal or Monaco.

Arsenal are reportedly going toe to toe with Thierry Henry's Monaco for the signing of Atletico Madrid forward Gelson Martins.

The 23-year-old, along with Nikola Kalinic, is rumoured to have been put up for sale by the Spanish side as they need to finance their move for Chelsea's Alvaro Morata.

Legendary Arsenal player Henry is believed to have lined up Martins for a switch to Stade Louis II, but the Daily Star suggests that the Gunners are also in the running to land him.

Rather than sign the Portugal international permanently, though, the report claims that the North London outfit will approach Atletico over a loan deal.

Martins has started just one La Liga game for Atletico since joining from Sporting Lisbon last summer.
