Chelsea FC: Four Replacements for Fernando Torres

Jackson Martinez (Porto and Colombia)

6″1′ striker Martinez has been prolific in his one season in Europe. Having scored 26 goals in 30 league games for the Portuguese side, Martinez has already attracted attention from other European clubs.

Having shunned the attentions of Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester United, Martinez has already begun to make a name for himself in Europe. Napoli have been enquiring about the Colombian and with the money the club have recouped from the sale of Edinson Cavani, could add him to the club’s ranks this summer.

With physical strength, great anticipatory skills and a great goals to game ratio, Martinez would be a good addition at Stamford Bridge. He’s already overtaken Radamel Falcao, Lisandro Lopez and Hulk by scoring 11 goals in his first 12 games.

But ‘Jackshadow’ Martinez might not be first choice amongst those who weigh in on transfer dealings at Chelsea because he is 26 and has only one year of expertise in Europe. Nevertheless, should Chelsea choose to spring for him, they would get him on the cheap.

He only cost Porto $11 million and despite having the reputation of selling players for very large sums of money after getting them on the cheap, would get him for a relatively low price.
