Gabriel Martinelli’s departure could see Arsenal move for Marcus Rashford on loan deal
Arsenal is reportedly considering a loan move for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford as a replacement for Gabriel Martinelli, who is set to join Al-Hilal. The potential transfer comes as Arsenal seeks to bolster its attacking options before the upcoming deadline.
Why it matters
High-profile player transfers significantly impact team performance and market valuations in professional football.
Arsenal could move for Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford on a temporary deal following Gabriel Martinelli's imminent departure, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney .
The Brazilian is no longer in the plans of Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and is set to leave the Emirates Stadium club for Al-Hilal.
Some at Arsenal are surprised the North London club are letting Martinelli go before securing an alternative in that area.
However, it is believed that the Gunners could make a loan move for Rashford as they eye a replacement.
The Man United star spent last season on loan at Barcelona and the 28-year-old was with Aston Villa for the second half of 2024-25.
Rashford is back with the Red Devils and was involved against Hull City last weekend.
