Former Newcastle striker
Obafemi Martins has
announced he has joined
Seattle Sounders and left Liga
side Levante.
The Spanish club have
confirmed that the Nigerian
striker triggered the buyout
clause from his contract, and Martins announced via
Twitter that he had joined the MLS outfit.
"Wow... Finally, I can now announce that I have just
signed for Sounders FC. A big step to take in my
career, it's a big challenge but I'm ready," he wrote.
"I look forward to this new era in my career... I also
look forward to meet my new team-mates and the
Sounders FC fans, my new family..."
Goal.com has attempted to reach the Sounders for
comment, but Seattle have yet to confirm the
signing.
