Spurs, Liverpool target Martinez ready to stick with Porto

Jackson Martinez is ready to play out the season with Porto.

The London Evening Standard says the Colombian forward has caught the attention of both Liverpool and Tottenham in recent weeks as they seek to improve their options in attack.

But Martinez, 28, is understood to have made the decision to stay in Portugal for the remainder of the campaign after Porto qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League. In the last 16, they have a winnable tie against FC Basel.

Martinez has a release clause of about £35million but his reputation as a proven goalscorer is likely to see him depart for one of Europe's major leagues next summer.
