Jackson Martinez

Full story: Daily Express

What’s the story? Well, he was linked to Spurs and Liverpool earlier in the summer but both clubs have had ample opportunity to sign him and haven’t.Does it make sense? Yes. Martinez should be a key man at Porto now that Falcao has left the club and being the star man at Porto seems to result in big moves recently.Is the price right? Having sold Falcao Porto would probably demand upwards of £20m for him now which is too much. Next summer though, if he gets himself 25 goals or so, someone (Monaco) will pay that and then some.Will it happen? 10/10 – He’ll be at Porto for this season, no doubt. Unless someone (Monaco) is willing to pay a ridiculous amount for him.
