Newcastle reveal Martins concernNewcastle boss Sam Allardyce has admitted that he is concerned about the possibility of striker Obafemi Martins leaving the club this summer.
He said: "All I can say from the club's point of view and mine is that it is only speculation because we have had no official contact from anybody at Arsenal at the moment.
"Everybody knows about the clause situation he has - that leaves us in a very poor position as a football club.
"We are left in a very precarious position regarding that. All the speculation that is flying around is difficult to cope with, but it is something we will have to try to find out over the next few days.
"When Oba comes back, we will sit down and say, 'What exactly is the situation?' and if he has any problems, try to resolve them and hopefully persuade him Newcastle is the place for him next season."
