Claudio Ranieri signed the 18-year-old from Lyon during the close-season on a three-year deal, and they have been so impressed by him that he has already been given a new contract.
Martial has made seven appearances for the club this season, scoring two goals, but has found opportunities limited given the form of Radamel Falcao and Emmanuel Riviere.
The striker suffered a sprained ankle during Monaco's defeat to Valenciennes in December and has been sidelined ever since. However, he is close to making a return to full fitness and was an unused substitute in their 2-0 win over Marseille on Sunday.
