When it comes to listing the sharpest strikers in the five biggest leagues, you can’t get away from a 27-year-old Argentine. Not too many seasons ago, Lautaro Martinez was on his way to the Premier League, but Inter Milan and the Argentine international agreed to continue together. Neither party has regretted it for a second. Inter missed out on a necessary injection of sales revenue, but have made up for it in the match arena. This time, the Inter and Lautaro collaboration could be coming to a natural end.
Arsenal must and should have a pure striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season. This has been the message from London for the past two seasons, but without success. In January, the club slammed a bid on the table of around £60 million for Ollie Watkins, but Aston Villa were not distracted. Now it is reported that Arsenal will go wild in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal tried to sign Benjamin Sesko last summer, but failed and the Slovenian striker extended his contract with RB Leipzig. In January, it was Ollie Watkins, Villa’s top scorer didn’t find his way to the Emirates either. According to the BBC, Arsenal tried to sign Alvaro Morata, but the Spanish national team captain opted for Galatasaray.

The BBC reports Benjamim Sesko is still the first choice as the new No. 9, but Arsenal are said to be willing – hold on tight – to make a €120 million bid for Lautaro Martinez.
The 27-year-old leads Inter as captain and delivers what Arsenal supporters dream of from their striker.

This summer, Arsenal will not miss the signing of a striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season. For Inter Milan, this could mean €120 million up in the club’s coffers, but a potentially costly loss of the player created for the Milan club.
144 goals and 49 asists in 314 games in the Inter shirt. Simply outstanding.
