excited to commit to the club for
the next few years," Martins told
BBC Sport. "The fans are amazing, the club is
awesome and together we are
building something massive here." "My ambition is to win more
trophies here and continue to
give my best. "We have a fantastic squad and
our target right now is the MLS

are one hugely ambitious club, so
it's a collective ambition,” he
