Arsenal line up SENSATIONAL £60m double swoop for Porto pair Martinez and Quintero
ARSENAL are lining up a sensational £60m double swoop for Liverpool target Jackson Martinez and Porto teammate Juan Quintero.
Jackson Martinez player profile
Martinez has hinted that he was expecting to receive interesting offers - including from Liverpool - at the end of the season.
But reports in Portugal suggest that the Colombian striker could find himself in line for a move in January instead - with Arsenal know to be long-term admirers of Martinez.
The Gunners were also heavily linked with a move for Quintero as the transfer window drew to a close over the summer, with some reports suggesting he had flown into London to sign for Arsene Wenger's side on deadline day.

It is thought that Porto value Martinez at £30m and will ask for a further £30m to include Quintero in the deal.
The reports will come as something of a surprise to Gunners fans after the north London club splashed out to bring Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck to the Emirates at the start of the season.
And while defensive reinforcements would still seem to be more of a priority for Wenger, it could be that the French tactician could make a major splash by further strengthening his attacking options.
