| Martins is potentially the next super star of African football with his explosive running and deadly finishing. Has already played in three UEFA Champions League campaigns with Inter Milan. Martins hails from Lagos and made his way as a teenager to Reggiana in Italy without any time in formal football structures in Nigeria. He moved to Inter with two other Nigerian juniors - Saheed Adeshokan and Ali Isa Ilayaku - soon after. Martins has an elder brother – Oladipupo Martins – previously on the books at Serbian champions Partizan Belgrade. In his first MTN Africa Cup of Nations, Martins played every minute of Nigeria’s campaign and scored a brace against Senegal in the Super Eagles’ 2-1 Group D win. |
