Porto striker Martinez eager to hear from Liverpool

Porto striker Jackson Martinez is keen to hear from Liverpool.

The Daily Express says Martinez is keen to finally leave Portugal in order to test himself at a higher level, and Brendan Rodgers is already working on a £30m deal to bring him to Anfield next summer.

The Reds are keen to secure the signature of a proven goalscorer after seeing current available trio Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini fire blanks.

And Martinez has now revealed that he is indeed hoping to receive an offer from the Premier League outfit, saying: "My agent is in charge of the negotiations. I prefer to stay out of it.

"At the end of this season I hope to get some interesting proposals."
