Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on the contract situation of Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
Lautaro Martinez is expected to sign a new contract with Inter Milan. But the two parties have not been able to finalise an agreement so far. The two Premier League clubs are keeping close tabs on the situation according to TEAMtalk, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him.
The 26-year-old Argentine international has established himself as one of the best attackers in the world, and he has scored 23 goals this season. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for the two London clubs. He has been linked with Manchester United as well.
It is no secret that Arsenal need to bring in a quality striker. Lautaro Martinez would be an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus. Apart from his impressive link-up play, the World Cup winner is a more reliable goalscorer compared to the Brazilian. Gabriel Jesus has not been able to consistently score goals since joining Arsenal, and the Gunners need an upgrade to win trophies season after season.
Martinez is well settled at Inter Milan, and it will be interesting to see if he is open to a move to the Premier League. The 26-year-old World Cup winner has already proven himself in Serie A, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to try out a new challenge.
Lautaro Martinez could transform Arsenal and Chelsea
The Argentine striker is at the peak of his powers, and he could prove to be a major coup for Arsenal. The Gunners certainly have the financial resources to pay a premium for him. The striker has the technical attributes and physicality to do well in England, and he could be a key player for Arsenal next season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need to improve their attacking options as well. They signed Nicolas Jackson to solve their goalscoring problems at the start of the season, but the former Villarreal striker has been largely underwhelming. Chelsea will need better players if they want to return to the Champions League and compete for trophies once again.
