Apparently the Gunners have already started securing their targets. According to the Mirror, none other than star striker Jackson Martinez has been offered a pre-contractual agreement which has been agreed upon by all sides. The brilliant striker who has managed an impressive 92 goals in 133 games since moving to Porto, would be a massive success for Arsenal as far as transfers go. Even if Martinez has never been seen as a top target, he is a dream striker every team should have around. He is a 30+ goal striker who has captained a team that a while back was feared in the Champions League. He looks ready to make the step to a bigger club and Arsenal would be the perfect destination for him. With Giroud struggling to get passed the 16 goal mark, the 28 year Columbian must surely beat that in his first if not his second season at the Emirates.

Even if nothing has been made official yet, fans can hope that Wenger started early this summer. A pre-contract agreement is nothing but good news especially with so many teams looking to make important changes this transfer window. The striker has a £24.8m buy-out clause which is very low if you consider he scored just as much as Neymar, Aguero or Costa in their domestic competitions. Even if Portugal’s Championship is not the strongest in the world, these statistics are amazing. With Sanchez, Cazorla and Ramsey to assist, Martinez could be the Premier League’s next top scorer as long as he stays away from injury and he continues doing what he does now. If the rumors are true and he does join Arsenal, fans can really look forward to what is to come. Starting the transfer period with a marquee signing like Martinez is exactly what the most ambitious teams have been doing in recent transfer windows.
