New marquee target for Wellington Phoenix after falling short on Michael Essien: former Inter Milan and Newcastle United ace Obafemi Martins.
Very, very early stages... but Martins is frozen out at Shanghai Shenhua and wants to play. Phoenix would love to have him and FFA rates him as a 'class B' marquee, so green light from them.

Cautiously excite? Did he play with Taylor at Newcastle?
