Jackson Martinez has admitted he does not know where he will be playing his football next season.
The Porto and Colombia striker has been linked with a move to Arsenal but does not know if he will be arriving at the Emirates.
Martinez has a stunning record since he made the move from Chiapas to Porto, scoring 60 goals in 91 matches since arriving in Portugal.
The 27-year-old scored twice for Colombia at the World Cup, but played less than might have been expected after Radamel Falcao was ruled out, with Jose Pekerman preferring Teofilo Gutierrez as his lone striker.
With Arsenal chasing a blockbuster move for Alexis Sanchez and Martinez having a restrictive £35m buy-out clause, the striker admitted his future is up in the air.
"Right now, I don't know what will happen," he told Colombian radio station La FM.
"I have two more years on my contract with FC Porto.

Having turned down a new contract and just a year remaining on his current deal, Khedira could soon be Arsenal's latest big-name signing.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Douglas Costa Costa is one of six Brazilian players refusing to return to Shaktar Donetsk due to the increasing political unrest in Ukraine.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Morgan Schneiderlin Schneiderlin is a transfer target for the Gunners' fierce rivals Tottenham, but Arsenal are reported to have held talks with the 25-year-old Frenchman over a move that would see him snub Spurs. The midfielder would fill the defensive role that Arsenal are currently lacking.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets John Ruddy The Norwich goalkeeper would be a shock signing for Arsenal, but rumours have linked the England stopper with a move. Arsenal do need another goalkeeper to replace Lukasz Fabianski, but it is worth noting that Ruddy was part of a side that were relegated last season and conceded the third highest number of goals. The arrival of David Ospina has made it even less likely.
Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Iker Casillas Another goalkeeper linked with Arsenal this summer is Real Madrid stopper Casillas. He's not been the favourite at the Bernabeu for a couple of seasons now and his disastrous World Cup has led to speculation he could move on. Again, the arrival of Ospina makes Arsenal's need for him not so desperate, but Wenger may not want to pass up the chance to sign such an experienced keeper.
Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Michy Batshuayi The Standard Liege star has already stated that he expects to leave at the end of the season, preferring to move to either England or Germany and recently admitting that Arsenal are his favourite team. The 20-year-old striker is the top scorer in the Belgian league this season. Batshuayi can also operate on the wing and has been linked with Everton and Napoli. Arsenal are said to be willing to pay his release clause, which is understood to be £6.5m.
Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Javi Martinez Arsenal are believed to be one of a number of clubs looking at Bayern Munich defender/midfielder Martinez should he become available in the summer. He would not come cheaply though, given the Bavarian club activated his €40m release fee to sign him in 2012.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Julian Draxler A move during the January transfer window failed to materialise over Draxler's £37m release clause with Arsenal unwilling to pay the hefty fee, according to Schalke's sporting director. The German international was also said to be a target for Bayern Munich in case Toni Kroos failed to sign a new deal with the Bundesliga champions. However, chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out a summer move for the highly-rated 20-year-old. Arsenal will have to change their stance over the transfer fee to acquire the attacker with several big clubs interested.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Juanfran With Bacary Sagna confirming he will leave at the end of the season, Arsenal look short in the right-back department.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Josip Drmic Arsenal have been linked with the Nurnberg striker recently after Lothar Matthaus claimed on Sky Germany that the Gunners had already signed the 21-year-old. Wenger is said to be keen to bring in the Swiss striker before the World Cup this summer. Drmic is a wanted man after scoring 16 goals in the Bundesliga this season despite his club battling against relegation. Drmic, who has three-years left on his current deal, is reported to have a release clause of less than £5m. Only Bayern Munich star Mario Mandzukic, Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski and Hertha Berlin striker Adrian Ramos have scored more league goals than Drmic this season.

Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets Sebastian Jung Eintracht Frankfurt defender Jung has been monitored by Arsenal this season. The 23-year-old has been one of their best players this season as the Bundesliga side recovered from a bad start to move clear of the relegation battle once they were eliminated from the Europa League. The German could be available for a fee in the region of £2m but the Gunners may face competition from Wolfsburg.
