It has been reported today that Sam Allardyce could be set to lose both his strikers this summer, with interest coming from a whole host of European clubs.
Allardyce has just been made aware of Martins’ £13 million buyout clause, after previously learning about the £9 million clause written in to Michael Owen’s contract.
Allardyce is livid such a clause has been kept from him, and is eager to convince both strikers to stay.
