Transfer Talk: Striker Jackson Martinez Prefers Move To Arsenal Over Chelsea by deawong(m): 10:02pm On Feb 20, 2015 |
FC Porto striker ’Jackson Martinez’ obviously admitted that he will leave the Portuguese club at the end of the season and is keen for a move to Arsenal rather than any of their Premier League rivals, reports the Express. The 28-year- old has managed to score five Champions League goals in the group stages this season, which has helped Julen Lopetegui’s side progress to the knock-out stages and his future at the club is in doubts. The Colombian striker has been impressive with a total of 85 goals in 122 appearances for the Portuguese outfit. A huge £32 million release clause in his contract is the main issue and a fee higher than that would be required to acquire his services, as reported by the newspaper. Arsene Wenger recently admitted that he believes Martinez has the ability to play in England’s top tier, which could have impacted the forward’s choice in regards to his preferred destination. Thought it would be tough to find a role for the striker in this current Arsenal lineup with so many big names, Wenger would never refuse such a highly talented player. In an interview, Martinez told reporters, “Players develop well in Portugal, and I thank the club for making me the player I am today. However, it’s time for a new adventure, to grow from a professional point of view.” source: http://soccervibes.com/2015/02/20/transfer-talk-striker-jackson-martinez-prefers-move-to-arsenal-over-chelsea/ |
