Clubcall: Colombian striker linked

Liverpool's search for new strikers has seen them linked with Colombian ace Jackson Martinez who is currently playing in Mexico.

The Reds are not alone in keeping tabs on the 26-year-old, who plays for Jaguares Chiapas in Mexico, as Porto are also said to be keen on his services.

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Porto are also on Martinez's trail and could look to make the first move so they can strike a deal for the forward before Liverpool or anyone else make a move.

The asking price of around £4m to £5m is not prohibitive and Liverpool are said to have had the player watched on a regular basis.

Liverpool's lack of a killer touch is beginning to cost them vtal points, no more so than on Saurday when they created chance after chance against Arsenal but only scored one and lost to a late Robin Van Persie goal, so they are now being linked with strikers across Europe and beyond.
