Liverpool have made an enquiry as to the availability of Porto forward Jackson Martinez, according to the Daily Express.
The Anfield club went through in the FA Cup third round on Monday night, beating AFC Wimbledon 2-1 after a brace from captain Steven Gerrard.
His second goal was a beauty, a whipped free kick effort that beat the stretching Wimbledon goalkeeper.
However, reliance on Gerrard is becoming an issue, especially with his departure imminent – he has scored four goals in the last two games for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
As a result, they are intending to bring forward reinforcements to the club in January, and Porto’s Martinez is the primary target.
They have now approached the Portuguese side about pushing through a move for the £30 million rated striker.
They would hope to replace the goal shy Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli by signing him, with neither filling the boots of summer departure Luis Suarez.
Would love to see Jackdon sign for us and I believe he’s the sort of striker we should of bought back in the summer but past experience tells me this is a load of bull and I doubt very much were be getting him. For starters if we went in for him he’s that good I think other top teams will outbid us and I don’t see us spending that sort of money when we’ve already spent so much, do this signing is very unlikely . We have origi coming in the summer and Sturridge to come back although the latter bring so injury prone these days would to see him as a third striker ( used s bit more sparingly ) but for that to happen we would need 2 great strikers infront of him and that’s unlikely unfortunately
More chance of getting a bj off the pope! Won’t happen.
I like tosee jackson for us
Yeah, yeah….FSG would like us to think we’ve ‘ enquired’ about Jackson, bit like Costa, Willian, Mykytarian, Konoplyanka….etc….
NOT A CHANCE..we can stick with Rodgers and end up in the Championship.
