It seems like Arsenal fans will have one
more reason to watch the World Cup
finals, as if we needed one. I don’t
know about you, but I am already
suffering from football withdrawal
symptoms and it has only been three
weeks since the Gunners lifted the FA
cup at Wembley.
Arsenal are already strongly
represented at the tournament in
Brazil, with 12 of our players taking
part, abd even when there are no
current Gunners involved in a game,
there is a good chance that there will
be a player that has been linked with a
possible move to us in the summer
transfer window.
One of those is the Colombia and Porto
striker Jackson Martinez, but it seemed
like our transfer interest in him had
cooled. Not according to his agent,
though, as a RexNews report reveals.
In fact, Peppino Tirri claims that we
are in a straight fight with La Liga club
Valencia for the striker’s signature.
He said, “In Italy we have had very
little contact, but for sure there have
not been any offers made by Roma.
“There are, instead, opportunities
abroad – Arsenal and Valencia in
particular are very interested in
Jackson Martinez.”
Martinez did come in for some
criticism by the Portuguese media for
his performances, although he still
scored 29 goals in all competitions.
The 27-year old is keen to move to a
bigger club and will be hoping to shine
in Brazil in order to increase his
chances. With Radamel Falcao not in
the squad, Martinez will be the main
man for Colombia, who face Japan,
Ivory Coast and Greece in their group,
with the first of those matches on
Saturday.
Will we be watching a new Arsenal
player?
