Hi Eds,

Would you mind giving me an update on Jackson Martinez? A few days ago he was reported as being made available by Porto to talk to both Arsenal and Liverpool. Most research I have done seems to imply that Arsenal was the more likely destination, but I would appreciate it if you could let me know is we are still in the running at all, or if we should forget this potential transfer?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Porto are prepared to cash in on Jackson Martinez with varying degrees of recent interest from Spurs, Valencia, Inter, Arsenal, Roma, Napoli, Atletico Madrid and Juventus. However, whilst Porto will seek his full release clause of 40M euro but would likely need to settle for less (€36M for want of a number). Two bids from Juventus were turned down and Milan baulked at the asking price. This has left Valencia who are looking to make improvements again this summer, Napoli who have spoken with Porto and the player and have "broadly" struck a deal twice - but have struggled to get the detail finalised - and Arsenal who would need to match the Napoli deal. Spurs and Roma are still a possibility but the price will not be attractive. Atletico and Juventus have certainly moved on. His agent has sounded out Arsenal and Manchester United to see if they are interested - and as Arsenal are not able to get the striker they want he is one player they may look to.}

Thanks Ed002. A shame we don't appear to be in for him as, for the sorts of figures being quoted, he would be cheaper or on a par with Benteke and I believe he would fit better with our style of play than Benteke would.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest right now.}
