Martinez has 27 goals and 7 assists in all competitions and he could be the ideal striker for Chelsea. Apart from his ability to find the back of the net consistently, Martinez is a creative forward who will help bring others into the game. His link up play and passing in the final third will help open up goal scoring opportunities for his teammates as well.
