An integral part of the Sporting team, Martins has already made 10 appearances in Primera Liga this season, scoring two goals.
Martins has won two full caps for Portugal, receiving the first of which against Andorra in the 6-0 World Cup qualifying victory back in September.
The departure of Joao Mario to Inter Milan has allowed Martins to step into his own — with boss Jorge Jesus even claiming: “In Portugal, there is no one like him.”
