Spurs v Reds in Martinez chase

Cape Town - Roberto Soldado out and Jackson Martinez in. That is Mauricio Pochettino's January transfer plan. 

Metro report that Roberto Soldado will be used in part-exchange in Tottenham Hotspur's bid to sign Jackson Martinez.

Pochettino will offer Roberto Soldado plus cash in a bid to beat Liverpool to Porto's Colombian striker's signature.

Porto may be forced to sell their prized asset in January as Martinez continues to delay contract negotiations.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has been linked with a move for Martinez for some time with reports suggesting the Reds are readying a £30 million bid for the 28-year-old striker. 

Martinez has a trememdous goal return in Portugal. He has scored 72 goals in 107 appearances for Porto.
