Internazionale striker Obafemi
Martins has urged Jose Mourinho to add him to his collection of
stars at Chelsea. The Nigeria international told Kick Off magazine
in his homeland that his ambition is to play for the Premiership
champions in the future.
Martins has established himself as a powerful hit-man for Inter and
has no immediate plans to leave Giuseppe Meazza. But The
Premiership is where the 20-year-old wants to play his football
eventually and he feels Chelsea would be the perfect club for him
to showcase his considerable talents.
"The Premiership is the biggest and most exciting league in the
world and every good player would love to play there," Martins told
Kick Off. "After my career with Inter, I'd obviously like to take
my game there. It is going to be fantastic to play in The
Premiership. I believe it is a league ideally suited to my own
game. I think I can play my best football in England because it's
played at a very quick pace. We'll see how it goes though. Even
though there are other good teams like Arsenal and Manchester
United in The Premiership, it has to be Chelsea for me. I love the
way they play and the atmosphere in the team. I love their progress
over the years and I think they have one of the best coaches in the
world in Jose Mourinho."
Martins has yet to be offered the chance to play in England and he
concedes he is not rushing to quit Italian giants Inter.
"I love Internazionale," he added. "This is a big family, their
fans are awesome and they have a very understanding coach. I
couldn't have asked for more. I only read about the interest from
Chelsea in the papers and on the internet but nothing concrete came
out of it. I can tell you then, and now, that I'm happy and focused
with doing well for Inter because they are the first in my
heart."
