Sochaux midfielder Marvin Martin has opened the door to a move away to Arsenal.
Martin has penned a new deal with Sochaux amid interest from the Gunners and Manchester United.
Arsenal made enquiries for Martin last month, while he was scouted by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in action for France.
He told L'Equipe: "We had good talk and we found an agreement.
"The officials made a promise. Indeed, an agreement to let me leave. I will remain at Sochaux until the end of the season."
