Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted a potential move for Porto star attacker Jackson Martinez, as per Goal.com.
Jackson Martinez has recently revealed his desire to play in the Premier League as he said that he will leave the Portuguese side at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, duo London sides Arsenal and Tottenham are already alerted with this news and earlier today Arsene Wenger told that Martinez will be one of the biggest star who will leave his club in the summer window.
Porto have been producing top talents for the past years, Ricardo Carvalho, James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao all developed here before moving to bigger clubs. It has been seen that these players have left for heavy transfer fee. Martinez is going to be the next big player who will leave Porto this summer.
The Gunners boss told regarding Martinez:
“He has top physical strengths, hugely efficient, he is the kind of player who can make room for himself in the box.”
The French manager has hinted for his move by admiring his qualities. He told that he has a very effective game style, he could be a very good player in the Premier League.
“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.”
The 28-year-old has been a top player for Porto since his move from Chiapas. He has netted more than 25 goals in every season, making a total of 85 goals in 120 appearances so far.
