Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hinted at a possible summer move for Porto striker Jackson Martinez after admitting he sees much in the Colombian striker that he likes.
Yet despite being on the verge of moving to the Premiership in the last two windows nothing has happened.
If Wenger’s comments are anything to go by though it could be just a few more months before you see the 28-year-old at the Emirates.
‘Top physical strengths,’ he said about Martinez when speaking to beIN Sports. ‘Hugely efficient, he is the kind of player who can make room for himself in the box.
‘He could play in the Premier League because he has the body to make the difference. He uses it in a very intelligent way. Very short back lift and he’s a very good finisher.
‘He’s on the list of many clubs, you know that. He will be the next big transfer who will give a big smile to Pinto da Costa [Porto’s owner].’
