Super Eagles striker Obafemi
Martins, who last week confirmed

China will reportedly earn $6.6

he took home about $2 million.

And now according to Steven Goff

Nigerian who scored 40 goals and
23 assists in three seasons with the
Sounders will earn a mouth-

club, which will open the Super
League season March 5.

He has played for Inter Milan
(Italy), Levante (Spain), Wolfsburg
(Germany), Newcastle United,
Birmingham City (England) and
