We have reported on Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan being linked with a transfer to the Emirates. As previously said, the Gunners have supposedly renewed their interest in the Argentina international (after a failed chase in 2021), and they are in communication with the striker’s agent about a prospective swoop. The striker reportedly favours the swoop.
In that piece, we mentioned Inter Milan, who are rumoured to be in financial trouble and are looking to balance their books. They need to make a huge sale this summer, which is why they may be ready to let their talisman go for a fee in the £70-£80 million range. Gabby Agbonlahor, a Premier League pundit, appears to have learned about Arsenal’s interest in Martinez. As a result, he has spoken up to Football Insider about his thoughts on the swoop. Gabby believes Martinez’s swoop will be fantastic, but only if Arsenal can obtain him at a reasonable price.
“I think it depends on the fee itself,” Gabby told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury. “If Arsenal can get the cost down to £60 million, then I think it’d be good business.
On what could happen if Martinez were to join Arsenal, he added, “Nketiah could be allowed to go on loan, and Martinez would join Gabriel Jesus as Arsenal’s two main strikers.
“But anything more than £60 million, I think, is too much.
“He’s not quick at all; he’s a good finisher, but there is a major lack of pace to demand a transfer fee that large.”
Lautaro Martinez has 13 goals and 3 assists in 23 games this season; he is certainly a goal source Arteta can tap if he joins in the summer.

The link is complete & utter garbage.As is the player.We can do a lot better than that for that kind of money.Anything coming from Italian media you take with a huge pinch of salt.Surely you know that?
No Thanks he can stay at Inter, I would rather Flo Balogun be given a chance instead of spending all that money on Martinez who is bang average.
Loan Eddie to a promoted team coming into the league so he plays every week to get better because he hasn’t filled Jesus shoes tbh, good player just not what we need. He needs to learn some what more about holding the ball up and clever one-twos.
Bring Flo back give him a shit, then add Ndicka & Teilimans free. There’s the start of our summer window to focus on a CDM & ST. We have loads of competitons next season esp heading back into UCL.
Pepe, Taveres, Elneny, Nelson and a few others may all be gone.
Kiwior, Jorginho & Trossard are great buys imo to add to this project
More like 25 mil
We already have flaring Balogun and Gabriel Jesus,
Nketiah needs to be sold or loaned,
We need a different kind of CF.
Agbonlahor, that “super brain” so beloved of JA Admins and so scorned by most true football fans as a thick in the head Brummie who knows little about anything, let alone our club.
A club to which he has never had any connection , despite his regular “pearls of wisdom” being sought out and promoted by Ad Pat and co.
He is even pillaried by his fellow TALKSPORT breakfast show colleagues, as a daft thicko, which he most certainly is!
Anyone who give any credence at all to his regular nonsense is as daft as he is!
