Josef Martínez playing a match with Atlanta United

Josef Alexander Martínez Mencia, more commonly known as Josef Martínez, has been a professional footballer ever since debuting for Caracas in 2010. He has had stints in BSC Young Boys and Torino before deciding to play in the MLS for Atlanta United. Martínez was phenomenal in his first season for the club, scoring 19 goals in 20 appearances and getting nominated for the 2017 MLS Newcomer of the Year. His exciting brand of football is something that the Atlanta fans have quickly admired, which has made him one of their top stars. He, along with Miguel Almíron and Ezequiel Barco form a deadly trio. A very good destination for the Venezuelan would be Valencia CF. After rumors of Florentino Perez being ready to slash the cash on Rodrigo Moreno and second striker, Simeone Zaza shipped off to Torino, the club is in need of a regular goalscorer, something they can easily find in Martínez. Nuno Espirito Santo could very well hone Martínez's talents at Wolves, after transforming substitute players like Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota into starting eleven stalwarts. Wolves' Premier League campaign could really use Josef as they look to battle it out for a European spot.
