After a long summer without a club, former Manchester United striker, Anthony Martial, has officially found his new home.
Martial left United back in July after his contract ended, bringing his nine-year stint at Old Trafford to a close. Throughout the summer, clubs like Lyon, Marseille and Atalanta have contacted the 28-year-old, however he rejected their advances.
However, the last month has seen the most movement with Martial, with Greek club AEK Athens and Brazilian side Flamengo in a two-horse race to sign the striker.

Whilst it looked likely that the former Red Devil would be joining his former teammate Memphis Depay in moving to Brazil, negotiations came to a close over salary demands.
However, this hasn’t been an issue for AEK Athens, who have now made Martial their highest-earning player in their history, having officially signed the striker. Martial is reported as being set to earn £2.5 million per year at the Greek capital, which over his three-year contract will be paying him around £7.5 million.
AEK have now taken to X to formally unveil their new signing, saying:
