AS Roma To Sign Jackson Martinez?

​Roma are now the front runners to sign Porto striker Jackson Martinez according to the ​Express, with the Italian club jumping ahead of Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool in the race for the Colombian.
Martinez has a £27.5m release clause in his contract and is looking to play in a more competitive league, but with the English clubs twiddling their thumbs, Roma manager Rudi Garcia and Martinez have reportedly agreed upon a contract.

Roma are hoping they could complete a move for the prolific forward in January. The Colombian is in exceptional form and is scoring some eye catching goals. A move to Italy seems more likely than one to England at this point.
