Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of Lautaro Martinez from Inter Milan.

According to a report from the Times, the Premier League giants have agreed on a fee of around £60 million with the Italian champions for the Argentine international.

Arsenal were keen on signing the player, but Tottenham has stolen a march on their rivals, and they are set to secure the arrival of the 23-year-old forward.

Martinez was in outstanding form for Inter Milan last season, and he helped them win the Scudetto.

His departure will come as a massive blow to the Italian outfit, especially now that they are losing Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea as well.

It will be interesting to see how they replace their two best attackers before the transfer window closes.

Martinez is still quite young, and he has a massive future ahead of him. The Argentine has the potential to develop into a world-class forward, and he could be a super long term signing for Tottenham.

The Londoners are hoping to hold onto Harry Kane, who has been linked with a move to Manchester City. If they can pair the England international with Martinez next season, they would have a formidable attack at their disposal.

Spurs will be hoping to get back into the Champions League next season, and they will need to strengthen their squad considerably in order for that to happen.

The Londoners have had an impressive window so far, and it will be interesting to see if they can wrap it up by holding onto their star players.
