Martinez joins Evergrande in record China deal - club

Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande have signed Atletico Madrid's Colombian striker Jackson Martinez for 42 million euros ($46 million), the club said Wednesday, smashing the national transfer record.
Martinez, 29, whom Evergrande called "world class" on their website, is the latest Europe-based player to head to the increasingly wealthy Chinese Super League.
Atletico bought the player from FC Porto, where he had scored an impressive 92 goals in 133 games, but he struggled to establish himself in Spain, scoring just two goals in 15 La Liga appearances.
But Evergrande used the English epithets "goal poacher" and a "fox in the box" to describe him in their Chinese-language statement announcing the deal.
