The Verdict
With Martinez being linked with both Arsenal and Chelsea, it will undoubtedly be a tough decision for the Colombian should he get offers from both the London sides. However, looking at the two sides, and the fact that the 27-year old will probably be entering the peak of his career, it would be a wiser move to join Arsenal.
At Arsenal, he will face less competition for a place in the team week in and week out, and that will give him time to settle into the side and adjust to the Premier League. With players like Cazorla and Ozil in their ranks, the Colombian will never be starved for scoring opportunities and scoring goals will be really high up on his agenda, especially in a World Cup year. That being said, he will have to modify his game slightly to adapt to Arsenal’s passing game, a change which will undoubtedly make him a better player.
