Martins signs for Wuhan Zall after two-month stay at Shenhua

Barely two months after rejoining Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua, Nigerian forward Obafemi Martins has linked up with another Chinese topflight club, Wuhan Zall FC.

The 35-year-old signed a one-year deal with the side as a free agent.

Martins’ contract with Shenhua was terminated last week after the forward failed to deliver.

He had rejoined the club for a second spell at the start of the new season in July, but did not score a goal in four league appearances.

Wuhan Zall occupy the fourth position in the Chinese league Group B table with 16 points from 11 games.

Martins is in line to make his debut for Wuhan against Chongqing Dangdai.
