Lionel Messi's words on Argentina teammate Lautaro Martinez will excite Arsenal fans with the Inter striker heavily linked to the club over a potential summer move. The legendary attacker Messi has played alongside Martinez for Argentina and is a big admirer of his game.
Arsenal are in the market for more than one striker this summer with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaving for Barcelona in the January transfer window and with both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah poised to leave at the end of the current campaign, Mikel Arteta is seemingly under no illusions that he'll need to bolster his frontlines.
Martinez, 24, has been linked to a move to north London by The Times after a failed bid last summer. The Gunners reportedly were unable to match Inter's £60 million valuation last summer but Edu could return with another bid this time around, with Champions League football potentially on offer to the 24-year-old should Arsenal finish in the top four.
