Arsenal set to complete Jackson Martinez move Arsenal are closing on their first summer signature of striker Jackson Martinez from Portuguese side Porto.

Arsenal are closing on their first summer signature of striker Jackson Martinez from Portuguese side Porto, as per Telegraph reports.
Arsenal set to complete Jackson Martinez move


The recent reports claimed that Arsenal are leading the race to sign the Colombian star who is currently on international duty. Copa America started yesterday and the star striker is waiting for his first match.



Italian side AC Milan and La Liga outfit Valencia are also in the race and the reports from last week claimed that AC Milan were leading the race, however the striker wants to move to a Champions League side.

AC Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League spot while the rest of two are likely to fight for his services. The only way for Milan is to pay a huge contract offer to the goal machine, else he would surely prefer a move to a Champions League side.

The 28-year-old scored 21 goals in 29 league appearances last term. He also appeared in 8 Champions League games and scored seven in them.

Martinez is expected to prefer a move to Premier League as he once told that he would like to play in England.

If Arsenal seal his deal then Olivier Giroud might then struggle to get chances and might leave in the future.

Martinez transfer saga will soon be ended once he return from international duty.
