Jackson Martinez has been linked with Arsenal
Arsene Wenger has hinted at a summer move for Porto star Jackson Martinez, after admitting his admiration for the striker.
Martinez has been tipped to move to the Premier League in the last two transfer windows but a deal had yet to materialise.
But Arsenal appear to be very keen on making a move over the summer, if Wenger's comments are anything to go by.
'Top physical strengths,' he said about Martinez when speaking to beIN Sports. 'Hugely efficient, he is the kind of player who can make room for himself in the box.
'He could play in the Premier League because he has the body to make the difference. He uses it in a very intelligent way. Very short back lift and he's a very good finisher.
'He's on the list of many clubs, you know that. He will be the next big transfer who will give a big smile to Pinto da Costa [Porto's owner].'
