How Chelsea stopped Tottenham completing £60m transfer as £77m Lautaro Martinez offer to be made

Tottenham are being linked with a £77million move for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez. But we've been here before.

Less than a year ago, Spurs agreed a fee with the Italian giants, believed to be in the region of £60million, to sign the Argentinian. And now, here we are again, a year later, and seemingly £17million more expensive too.

Spurs have been in need for another striker for a number of years now, with the pressure heavily weighted on Harry Kane's shoulders. Martinez's record suggests he would be an astute, if expensive, signing, having scored 21 goals in 35 Serie A appearances last season.
