Bournemouth to sign Obafemi Martins?

Premier League newcomers Bournemouth will look to secure the services of former Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins this summer.

The Nigerian international has spent the past few seasons in the MLS, plying his trade for the Seattle Sounders.

Martins had been previously associated with a switch to West Ham United last summer, but manager Sam Allardyce rubbished the claims.

It is now speculated that the Cherries boss Eddie Howe could seek to bring back the Super Eagles striker to the English top flight this summer, having seen the club being over reliant on Callum Wilson to keep the goal count ticking.

Bournemouth were promoted to the Premier League, having been crowned the Championship winners.
