Rumour: Chelsea target Porto hotshot Jackson Martinez to solve problems in front of goal

Chelsea are being linked with a potential move for Porto striker Jackson Martinez, if they fail to lure primary target Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid.

The Chelsea strikers have scored a combined 6 goals between them, and have failed to provide the cutting edge the Blues will require if they are to challenge for silverware this season.

The Columbian might be the perfect answer to Jose Mourinho’s problems, considering the sublime form he has been in for his club Porto. Since his move to Portugal, the forward has netted 49 goals in 64 appearances, and an impressive 7 goals in just 6 appearances this campaign, which equates to more than a goal per game.

Chelsea will have to bid in excess of £25 million if they are to convince the Portuguese side to sell their prized asset. This could mean curtains for the likes of Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o at Stamford Bridge.
