| Jackson Martinez's agent has admitted the striker wants to stay with Atletico Madrid |
The Colombia international has struggled to adapt to life in Madrid, scoring just twice in 11 Liga appearances this season.
The Mirror claim Martinez is attracting interest from Chelsea and Tottenham, who are both keen on a loan move for the Atletico ace in January.
And while his agent, Henrique Pompeo, refused to rule out a departure from the Spanish capital, he admitted the striker does still want to make his time with Diego Simeone's side a success.
"Jackson wants to succeed at Atletico, but it's the club who will decide his future," he told Spanish new outlet AS.
"I cannot say if it's a lie, that's football, and nobody knows what will happen in the future.
"What I want to say is that Jackson is not someone who will go somewhere unless it's through the front door.
"He made a choice and he is very happy in Madrid, he loves the club, although obviously he would have liked to start in another way on a personal level.
"He had to adapt to a new playing culture, and a thousand others things, and then the injury came. But he's happy for the group because things are going well."
