Arsenal to sign Jackson Martinez?

Arsenal to swoop for Martinez next summer?

Arsenal could make a summer move for Porto striker Jackson Martinez, The Mail reports.

The Gunners had been strongly linked with a switch for the talented hitman last summer, but the club opted to sign Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona instead.

According to The Mail, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has fuelled speculation over a possible move for the player by insisting that he could be the next star to leave the Primeira Liga outfit for the Premier League.

"[He has] top physical strengths.Hugely efficient, he is the kind of player who can make room for himself in the box." Wenger told about Martinez

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."

Martinez has scored 25 goals in 29 games for Porto this season.
