Lautaro Martinez could join Tottenham Hotspur

Journalist Dean Jones has said on the Football Terrace podcast that Inter Milan Lautaro Martinez could join Tottenham Hotspur. However, according to the journalist, the Argentina international striker will not make the move to Tottenham’s Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The Times reported in May that Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in signing Martinez from former Italian champions Inter in the summer transfer window. Martinez scored 21 goals and gave three assists in Serie A this past season, and scored 17 goals and provided six assists in the league in 2020-21.

Jones said on the Football Terrace podcast, as transcribed by TheBootRoom: “At this stage, it’s not likely (that Martinez leaves Inter for England), but I was told that it’s still possible. If it’s going to happen, it won’t be to Arsenal, it could be to Tottenham.

“That was the information I given over the weekend. Arsenal missed out on the CL and that’s that. The fact that Tottenham have qualified gives them a better chance, if they want to go for him.”
