Transfer Balls: Arsenal target Martinez wants to play for Spurs, Liverpool and any other Italian club

Transfer Balls: a look at players linked with Arsenal, Liveprool and Spurs by the thin thread of speculation, rumour and utter nonsense.

The Daily Mirror , ever, craven in their reporting.

Arsenal news and transfers: Jackson Martinez wanted as Gunners’ marquee summer signing?

Dunno. And neither does the Mirror, which merely chimes:

Arsenal are hoping to land Porto front man Jackson Martinez as their marquee signing this coming summer, according to The Metro.

And what does the Metro say?

Arsenal ‘to seal Jackson Martinez transfer as summer marquee signing’

For the Mirror’s ‘?’ read the Metro’s inverted commas.

Jamie Sanderson then delivers the facts:

Arsenal want to bag Porto striker Jackson Martinez as their marquee signing this summer, according to reports.

Sanderson cupplies no links to these ‘reports’.

Claims in Spain say Arsenal have made the Colombian their top target, and Wenger will make a £29.5million bid to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.

Claims by whom? And why in Spain when Porto play in Portual?

It’s understood that Arsenal have decided Martinez will be their number one big money buy, with Frenchman Wenger keen to land a proven goal scorer.

Utter balls, of course.

And try as they might, the Daily Express is the true home of trasnferballshit.com.
