Arsenal could make a sensational move by beating their rivals to the signing of a World Cup winner, according to journalist Paul Brown. The Gunners have reportedly reignited their interest in Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, with a potential deal worth up to £80 million. Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in the Argentine. Brown believes that if Arsenal can secure Champions League football, they have a good chance of signing the 25-year-old. He said that Martinez would be an “absolutely phenomenal signing” and that getting into the Champions League is key. Martinez has scored close to 120 goals in his senior club career and has been in impressive form this season, with no Inter teammates surpassing his average domestic match rating.

Journalist Paul Brown has reported that the Gunners have reignited their interest in Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, with a potential deal worth up to £80 million. Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in the Argentine.
Brown believes that if Arsenal can secure Champions League football, they have a good chance of landing Martinez. He spoke of how impressive the 25-year-old has been, describing him as “an absolutely phenomenal signing”, and added that it is “key” for the North Londoners to get into the competition.
Martinez has an impressive record for club and country, scoring close to 120 goals in his senior career, with Inter Milan this season having no teammates surpass his average domestic match rating. He was also part of Argentina’s World Cup winning side in 2014.
The addition of Martinez would certainly be a statement signing for the Gunners, and it could be a turning point if they are able to secure Champions League qualification. They face a tough test to make it into Europe, with the club currently 11th in the Premier League table, but with three months of the season still to go, this could all change.
