Martins: Going nowhere
Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan has warned Arsenal off making a move for Obafemi Martins.
Nigerian ace Martins has been continually linked with a possible move to Emirates Stadium with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger thought to be a big admirer of the player.
Reports have suggested Arsenal are lining up a bid for the former Internazionale ace in the summer as they look to strengthen their squad for a renewed title challenge next season.
However, Keegan insists he has not received any bids for Martins and he would not welcome one for the jet-heeled forward.
When asked if he had received any offers, Keegan told the Evening Chronicle: "I haven't, no, but I want to keep all my players and add to them if I can.
"Anyone that goes will be a bit of a blow, especially if something like that happens late on in the summer.
"However, Arsenal have definitely not approached me."
