Guangzhou confirm Martinez capture

Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao have confirmed the signing of Jackson Martinez from Atletico Madrid. 

The reigning AFC Champions League winners offered a reported €42million to sign the 29-year-old from the Spanish club. 

Martinez was a €35m signing from Porto in the off season but failed to make an impact at the Vicente Calderon.

Guangzhou confirmed the signing of Martinez via their official Twitter account just a week after they sold their star striker Elkeson to fellow Chinese club Shanghai SIPG.

"Jackson Martinez has officially joined the team in Guangzhou," the tweet read. 

Martinez has reportedly signed a four-year deal with the club.
