ARSENAL have reportedly been put off by Anthony Martial's price tag and will not enter a bidding war this summer.
Arsene Wenger is a long-term admirer of the French forward, 22, who has been linked with a Manchester United exit.
But the Evening Standard claims the Gunners are unwilling to shell out around £60million and will pursue other options instead.
After signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette this season, Arsenal want to improve their spine.
A central midfielder and centre-back are the main priorities, and a long-term option in goal is also needed.
Wenger enquired about Martial as part of the swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez but was told United would not let him go.
