Arsenal and Tottenham dealt blow in £120m Darwin Nunez and Lautaro Martinez transfers

Arsenal and Tottenham both appear to be eager to strengthen their attacking contingents this summer with both clubs linked with a number of exciting names, including Lautaro Martinez and Darwin Nunez. Having spent £7million to cancel Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract in January, Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for a new star striker at the Emirates Stadium.

While Tottenham's trio of Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Dejan Kulusevski is solid, their depth in the department leaves a lot to be desired. Both Martinez and Nunez have been linked with each of the North London rivals ahead of the summer window, but while the clubs are keen on the players, the players have their eyes set on a different location: Atletico Madrid.

Nunez has been in red-hot form for Benfica this season, with the 22-year-old scoring 20 goals in just 22 Liga Portugal appearances with the club reportedly looking to demand £60million for his signature. But according to the Telegraph, the Uruguayan has his heart set on a move to reigning La Liga champions Atletico Madrid.
