The talented Nigerian International forward had been in good form for the Major League Soccer outfit last season, having notched up 7 goals for the club in 15 league appearances.<br />

The speculation comes about as manager Sam Allardyce is in search for a genuine goal-scorer during the winter transfer window, following the club's recent miserable league run, and a loan deal for Martins could well be completed during the New Year.<br />

Should the Hammers sign the Nigerian star, he would be available to ply his trade with the club until the first week of March, 2014 and stand at a better chance of featuring for the Super Eagles in the World Cup finals in Brazil. <br />

Martins has previously played in the England's top tier with Newcastle United and Birmingham City.
