Arsenal and Liverpool to be snubbed by Colombian star!

Arsenal look set to be snubbed by Colombian international, Jackson Martinez. The 28-year-old Porto striker is said to prefer a move to White Hart Lane instead, citing competition for places at the Emirates as a leading factor.

Liverpool are also interested in the forward, but the white side of North London looks like the 6-footer’s destination of choice.

Martinez is happy to stay at Porto until the summer, but a ÂŁ27.5million buy-out clause is attracting interest from clubs in need of added fire-power.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, could well be looking to offload Emanual Adebayor and Roberto Saldodo to fund the move in a few months time, and the Colombian striker, who has hit 81 goals in 119 appearances for Porto could fit in very well at the Lane. 

In 2014, Martinez was named in Colombia’s 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup. After a substitute appearance in the team’s opening match win over Greece, Martinez was selected to start in the final group game against Japan, scoring twice in a 4–1 win.

Spurs to upset Arsenal? Now there’s a thing.
