The world cup is in full swing meaning players are being looked on the biggest stage. Porto star Jackson Martinez is the latest star to be looked at by Wenger who is now in the impressive Colombia side.

According to reports in Portugal, Arsenal have contacted Porto about a deal to bring him to the Emirates.

Arsenal are considering paying release clause of £35 million for the striker who has been highly touted and looked at for a year. Playing his football in Porto, Martinez has a wealth of champion’s league football, although the Portuguese league is not the greatest.

Martinez has scored two goals so far in the world cup which both came against Japan. Arsenal want to get this deal done because Porto want to negotiate a new contract and put his release clause up to £70 million.

Martinez is the type of striker which would please most Arsenal fans especially with his formidable goal scoring record.  Martinez has the physique, pace and power which is required to be successful in the Premier League.
