English Championship Winners and Premier League new entrants AFC Bournemouth have been linked to Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins.

The former Levante striker has been in superb form for Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer (MLS) since last season and has scored six goals in seven games this season.

Martins is not new to EPL as he played for Newcastle United and Birmingham City. To land Martins, the England Championship winners must be ready to pay big money to the Nigeria striker, that may block the move as been speculated because the team are not big spenders.

During their rise from the lower league to the Premier League, Bournemouth have resisted big spending and focused mostly on building from within.
