Liverpool rumoured to be targeting Jackson Martinez

Bold stuff from the Daily Mail this morning, as they claim that Liverpool are already in the process of holding discussions with the representatives of 25-year-old Colombian forward Jackson Martinez.

It’s a strange one this, but it’s very specific – and if the £8.5m asking price that Martinez’s club Jaguares have set is to be believed, then that would represent better value than much of what’s available in Europe.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen him play – but from the video below he seems a little leggy, even if he does score a lot of goals. Still, Liverpool do need something different up top, and Martinez is averaging roughly a goal every two games for both club(21 in 43) and country(5 in 10).
