Chelsea failed in their attempts to sign Anthony Martial over the summer despite offering more money to AS Monaco than Manchester United, according to French publication Canal+ Magazine.

Gone up in my estimation. He's clearly quite intelligent to have foreseen Chelsea going on a downward spiral back into oblivion.
