10 Players Who Rejected Arsenal

10. Jackson Martinez

In 2015, Jackson Martinez was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates after a fantastic season with Porto.

The Colombian striker had a £25 million release clause in his contract and it was thought to be a two-way battle between the Gunners and AC Milan for who landed his signature. However, the frontman made the shock decision to head to Spain and signed on the dotted line for Atletico Madrid.

The move failed to be the success the Spanish side were expecting and after only netting twice in 15 appearances, Martinez was sent packing. He currently plies his trade in China and is Guangzhou Evergrande's number nine, lining up alongside former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho.
