Former Inter Milan and Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins reveals he has no immediate plans to retire.

The 34-year-old was tipped to quit football in 2018 after a hamstring injury ended his time at Shanghai Shenhua. However, ‘Obagoal’ feels he still has plenty to offer football.

Martins, who won two Coppa Italia titles, one Serie A , one English Football League Cup and was named Caf’s Most Promising Talent of the Year twice, won the 2007 Chinese FA Cup topscorer prize and aims to join a new club soon.

“After my career-threatening injury in China, many people advised me to quit but I told myself I still have a lot to offer the beautiful game,” he told Goal.

“Football is my life; I eat, drink and sleep football so I don’t see any reason to call time on something that makes me happy

“I’m 34 but I feel like a teenager, and with this sensation, I can still play for any big team across the world. I’m thankful for what I have achieved in football but I thirst for more.

“That desire is still there, the desire to score more goals and win more titles. For my next move, I have got offers from the United States, China and Saudi Arabia but I will only move when I see the right bargain.”

Before drawing the curtains on his Nigeria career, he boasted 18 goals from 42 outings. (Goal)
