Arsenal have approached Lautaro Martinez’s agent over a potential deal this summer. However, the Premier League giants have been told they must pay at least €70million (£59m) for his services.
Arsenal have listed Inter Milan striker Martinez as a possible target for the summer transfer window. However, they face stiff competition from LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid.
The Gunners are in desperate need of an additional striker as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are the only recognised forwards at the club following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure.
Arsenal are yet to replace Aubameyang while Lacazette and Nketiah could leave this summer as their contracts at the Emirates Stadium run out at the end of the season.
