Tottenham are prioritising a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen over Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, according to Enrico De Lellis.
Martinez has been linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for over a year.
After a summer full of rumours in 2021, the Argentine forward penned a new Inter contract lasting until 2026.
Arsenal have also been heavily linked with the 25-year-old but are unlikely to reignite their interest after signing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.
Having said that, Tottenham spent around £50million to sign Richarlison, and are still being linked with Martinez and Osimhen.
Harry Kane has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, which is probably why Antonio Conte is reportedly interested in bolstering his attacking options.
However, Italian journalist De Lellis reckons Martinez is not Spurs’ priority, but Osimhen is.

“The Napoli striker is also very popular with Bayern Munich and Manchester United, although the Germans closely follow Sesko as well.
“Their policy is to carry out operations under 100 million, consequently Osimhen is a secondary option.
“The Nigerian is the classic Premier League footballer and it turns out to be the real goal of Tottenham. But it will be necessary to understand his will: he is demanding for the future and not only from an economic point of view.”
Spurs could be forced to move for Osimhen with Kane’s contract expiring in less than two years.
When asked about the rumours linking him with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, Kane insisted he is fully…
