Striker rejects EPL returns

Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins is rejecting the chance to return to the English Premier League.

The Seattle Sounders FC striker has been on top form in the MLS and his agent has revealed that he is enjoying life in the United States.

Newly promoted English club, AFC Bournemouth are reportedly interested in Obafemi Martins who played for Newcastle United and Birmingham City previously but his representative has shut down the rumours revealing that Martins the former Inter striker is not seeking a move.

''So there's no way he is leaving Seattle Sounders, you can talk about the off-season. He had offers from the Gulf and he didn't accept," Martins rep told Seattle Sounders official website.

''Martins is settled in America. He has not had any contact with Bournemouth.''

Martins last year extended his contract with the MLS club.

He earns about $3.4m per year.
