yeah, he was really good when he first was playing for Inter. he's very agile, and motivated. but i didn't hear any significant news about him last season...

He's Nigerian and played for Inter Milan in Italy. His full name is Obafemi Akinwunmi Martins and he's rumoured to be 21 but with Nigerian footballers you're never really sure (anyone remember Ibrahima Bakayoko???).
He's seriously quick, but his finishing can be a bit hit and miss. He should get loads of chances though so he should score a few.
Inter signed him as a youth player from Reggina.

He's quick, mobile and has technique, and good with the ball at his feet.
He'll be a menace to any defence. The deal's not done yet, but chances are he'll sign.
It's a real shame we missed out on Kuyt though.
I feel we will do well to have a targetman type forward to complement Shola and Michael. Kind of like Mido.

His full name is Obefemi Martins and he is Nigerian and Emre is a big fan of his after playing at San Sico with him. He is an ace scorer.

Yeah, I hope he signs for Portsmouth. He's overrated and NOT a 30 goal a season striker. Wake up Freddie Shepherd!!!!

I heard that he has a forged birth certificate and that he might be as old as 27, not 21 like everyone thought at first.

I heard that there's a dispute as to how old he actually is apparently he is 3-4 years older than inter claim!!
